When polishing aluminum, speed instead of pressure is key. Apply metal polishes with a brisk motion instead of increased pressure. This will yield better results with no scratching.
For removal of hard water spots from aluminum wheels, use a mixture of vinegar and water (mixed 1:1). Wipe mixture on surface and allow to set for 30 seconds. Wash clean and reapply until spots are gone.
For routine cleaning of metal, try using 20/20 Perfect Vision Auto Glass Cleaner for a final wipe. The cleaners will produce unsurpassed shine without streaking.
When polishing aluminum, you should see a significant amount of black appear on your rag. If you do not see this, stop. The surface is clear coated and a paint polish should be used.

An excellent point that is well worth commiting to memory. I've seen lots of damage done by failing to make that simple check.
