Default Cleaning up some TTs: Advice needed

So what do you guys recommend for the job? They are fairly dirty, but not pitted/stained/etc. Just want to get them shiny new again!

get some mothers polish and a mothers polish ball and a terry towel to finish up after the polishing ball(ball will do way better than you ever could with your hand and a terry cloth) and a electric drill that combo will get them looking brand new. I did it last week.

Wash them with soapy water first, with the rest of your car (but last). THEN polish them. Don't grind all that grap into your wheels.

I like to use a microfiber towel instead of terry cloth. terry cloth towels will leave some scracthes behind if you aren't careful. If you use a foam applicator with Mothers billet polish it will come out great
