Polishing aluminum wings

Gents,
Any suggestions on what to use to polish the wings with? I've got some areas on the underside of the wings that look kind of rough. My bet is they haven't been cleaned and polished since the plane was built.
Thanks,
john

I recommend Nuvite. This seems to be the polish of choice by Luscombe
owners (I own a bare aluminum Luscombe and will agree with them).
Nuvite comes in a handful of grades from a high "cut" to a final polish
paste. It is a labor of love and you will get black hands or you can use
gloves.

Hi John
The next post is right The Nuvite is king of polish but expensive.
I touch up my polished wing and some light rusted rivets with a product called Autosol. It comes in small tubes and is big with polishing motorcycle parts. It leaves a protective film of some kind that really lasts a long time.
