Fine (0000) steel wool and metal polish, such as Never-Dull will work just fine. ---

Two questions: I assume it has to be specifically aluminum polish? Target and walgreens(ones I went to) had an assortment of silver, gold, platinum, etc. polishers but no aluminum Do I have to use steel wool with it? ---

Normally you use the steel wool by itself, then finish off with the polish. I use Turtle Wax polishing compound and scratch remover found in a hardware store or automotive store. Nevr-Dull polish works well. I think the polish for silver and gold etc will work. An auto parts store will probably have some specifically for aluminum for polishing wheels. Here’s some info: [How To Polish Aluminum](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,54052.0.html) (Be sure to read the attached pdf files.) ---

both the Never-Dull that the Iosso cream are excellent products,but do not be fooled, the 7075 is a type of aluminum that is oxidized in contact with the air and then you will obtain a good result but will not be long-lasting. ---

Well, it is an abrasive. Best to mask or go around things you don’t want affected.
