Depending on the deterioration of the ally! If it's rough wet and dry ( used wet ) then Autosol, then Belgom Alu and lots of elbow grease

Re: aluminium (polish)
Here in the USA we dry sand, then wet sand, then polish. Depending how rough it is, start with 320 to smooth it out, then 400, then 600, 800, 1000, then 1000 wet. After that i smear it with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish, then use a buffing wheel on an air rotary tool. I wipe it clean with an old cotton t-shirt, then stare at myself in the shine. If you did it right you should be able to pick pepper out of your teeth in the reflection
