Solvol Autosol, Belgum Alu or Maguires, Belgum Alu is suposed to give the longest lasting finish but they all fade after a few weeks and it's back to the grindstone, (lifes too short). If it's rough, get yerself a polishing kit, they were selling them for £20 at Stafford today, same people have an eBay shop.
