Try one of the newer coating type products (Optimum Polymer Technologies Opti-Clean or Opti-Coat)

Opti-Coat will provide a 2-4 µ (microns) film and a hardness of 9H (Pencil Hardness) when fully cross-linked and provides a semi-permanent coating. Once it cures, it will repel most everything. It has a durability that is measured in years not months

Mothers aluminum/metal polish, and just go at it by hand or a ball orbital

I had great success with OC2.0 helping keep brake dust, rubber dust, and water spots off my alloys. I figure with polished wheels you have to make them absolutely perfect before using it on them
