Aluminum Polish

I'm currently in the process of stripping my 4th gen's wheel's paint off and i'm planning on polishing the bare aluminum. What polishes will give the aluminum the best shine?

Post some pictures.

When I re-painted my '00 GLE wheels, there was a thick grey primer or powdercoat under the silver paint that the aircraft stripper didn't affect at all. I sanded it for awhile but didn't make any headway, so I just repainted over it. I'm curious as to how you're getting through it. Sandblast or a power sander or something more aggressive?

I always thought the wheels that were just brushed aluminum or polished aluminum with no paint maybe just a wax or clearcoat looked really good.
