If you are talking about for the whole car then use Zaino. It takes time and patience to do it right but it will shine like none other.

I've been using Mother's Billit, it's pretty expensive but the results are outstanding. I also use Mother's aluninum mag polish, it's much cheaper and gives pretty good results too.

I use Buschs Metal Polish, awesome stuff. Goes on easy and comes off easy with excellent results. I've used the Mothers Billet before but like the Busch stuff better. The only places I could find the stuff are in truck stops, never seen it in the part stores.

Here's another vote for Mothers...

Actually, I start out with Mothers, than switch to Never-Dull for the final polish.

PendragonZ - Have you used that Mothers Billet polish? It's basically a finer grade of the regular Mothers metal polish. If the rims are bad it's probaly wiser to use something like Never-Dul or the regular Mothers polish then the Billet to save money, product and get the job done faster. From what I've seen, the Billet polish is more of a finishing product; sure, you can use it by itself but you'll end up using alot.

Give it a shot if you havent, rims and exhaust tips coming out looking chrome.

I'm using the Mag and Aluminum polish first, as it has a little more bite to it than the NeverDull. I used it to clean up my exhaust tips. Then once they are cleaned up, the neverdull is good for weekly maintanence. (If it would stop raining on the weekend when I have a chance to work on the car anymore!)
