Try Nu-vite I used it to polish my Airstream trailer. Do a google search on either nu-vite or airstream polishing and you should get to it. Can polish it up like a mirror.

Buffing wheel and some white or brown buffing compound. Flitz or the one that Foose sponsors actually works pretty decent if you arent able to bring the metal to the wheel.

The best rubbing type polisher that I've found is called "hollywood" get the stuff that comes as fibers.
