What do you guys use to polish welds/alcoas?

Wondering what you guys use when you polish your rims?
I got 2 sets of rims 15x10 super singles and 15x12 original alcoas, I've been using mothers in the can and never dull with pretty good results. Any other polishes that would be better?

All of those work well. If you have any stubborn stains try Neverdull, works like a charm.

I use Harley-Davidson metal polish first, then Meguiars chrome polish and finally Meguiars Hi Tech wax. Tried other products and methods but so far this combination seems hold up the best.
