never dull works very well. You can find it in the automotive section or the cleaning aisle.

start by sanding them down with a higher grit paper then move down to the smaller grit size. I bought 3 dico polishing wheels with 3 compounds. this setup is used on a bench grinder. but one that is low rpms. Too fast and you will burn the alumium. Whay dont you look into getting them podwercoated the hubs should be chaep to do.
