Default 17x10 smoothie II's

My wheels and tires shipped earlier today from DTD. Now I'm looking for the best polish/wax combo for aluminum. My goal is like-new shine and full protection. What do you recomend for the best shine and the best protection? I'll post pics when I get them!

I have tried a few polishes on my Smoothie 2's and have found that the Mothers "Billet" polish works the best! I even bought the Boyd Coddington aluminum polish that is made for them by Heavy Metal Polish, the green one, directly from the Boyd Coddington booth at the GoodGuys car show last month. I didn't like it cause it seemed to put ultra fine scratches on my wheels that can be seen with the light. The Mothers Billet is about $15 a jar but seems to really go a long way. It makes them look like the day I got them, almost like they are chromed. I don't know about waxing or sealing them, I have polished them twice since I got them in late February. I have read lots of threads suggesting that Zoopseal stuff, but don't know firsthand.
