I use aluminum polish and it helps out tremendously. you could even use the mother power ball, have heard great results with that as well. You can make them shine for about a day or two it seems like.

you need to do this to get a shine, I just did mine a few weeks ago and it really works great. I should have done it when I bought the car two years ago.
