I think they all suck. Aluminum blows to care for. I always used mothers, though...

imo, all metal polishes are pretty similar. i use several and really dont see a big diff.
for me the biggest pia on my bike is the spokes. jeez those things always want attention! (luster lace is prob my fav there- but i also use other polishes with rags)

Zephyr makes a polish that I am REALLY happy with.....
takes a little time to get the aluminum shiny(as in a dull chrome), then maint. is easy.
I know this pic kinda blows-goats as far as the bottle goes, but will give you an idea of what to look for. I pick mine up at a auto-body supplier.
