Default Cleaning Cast Rims

I have an 04 Low Rider with the original cast wheels with the black, they are looking a little weathered. What do you guys use to bring them back to life?

I use Never Dull on my cast wheels on my Fat Bob. Not the easiest way, but they sure look good after I finish.

I've also been using "Shout" on the rims. Seems to be very gentle on the polished aluminum. When you are done washing, polish the aluminum with "Mothers Aluminum and Mag Polish, works wonders. I've got the silver rims and it keeps them like new. 02 FXD.
