I use White Diamond on my wheels being there C5's from OEWheels.com and really like it. I know there are some stuff out there that is probably better but since I can get it from my Advance Auto store, I use it.
Adam's Metal Polish 1&2 are great. Depending on how bad the metal is I sometimes start with 0000 steel wool and mothers mag/aluminum polish then move onto the Adams. Get some decent MF utility towels. Junk MF towels can do more harm that good.

I have probably 8 metal polishes ranging from Duragloss, to Collinite, to Mother's, to Meguiar's and the best one I've used has been that White Diamond stuff from Advance Auto. It also has a sealant in it which has decent durability so they are way easier to clean.
I don't have pics on my computer but I wish I could show the difference it made on my TT2s when I first bought them used.

Zephyr pro 40 is what I always use on my Peterbilts (lots of aluminum to polish on these). Best one I've used hands down, and I've tried a lot of them. You can find this @ the Peterbilt dealerships or online.

All i have used so far is Eagle One Original NEVER DULL wadding Polish in the Silver 5oz can. Its a cotton type of batting you pull off what you need and rub away cleans and shines good. I don't wax over it and it never seems to tarnish back up. I have only used it under the hood never rims.
For clear coated wheels you use the same process as you would for the paint on your car.
