On old wheels it's usually easier to start with the sandpaper. Wet sanding them will get a lot of the dirt out that is in the aluminum... Just "found" another pair of 14 X 7 Ford aluminum wheels in the storage shed the other day.....Looks like I have a start for the "polishing pile" this winter!!!!

Orange jug hand cleaner (the gritty stuff) works good and it's cheap. Also takes off brake dust stains and hard water spots on chrome. I've even used it on chrome plated plastic with excellent results.

Do a Google search for product called "Gords". Outstanding and very easy to use.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
