Mother's brand aluminum wheel polish and time. You will ruin them with a scotch-brite pad!

If they're polished and clear coated...like a lot of polished aluminum wheels are...then just use soap and water. If they are clear coated, even brake dust will wash off with ease.
If you don't think they are clear coated, then something like 'Simple Green' works well. Don't use degreaser or aluminum mag acid, because they will dull the finish and sometimes streak it.

Car wash and water. If they've gotten dull over time, I only use Mother's mag and aluminum polish. They'll look like you just bought 'em.
