Oh....... well in that case 0000 steel wool. But I would still use my method for one important reason. When you polish by hand it's almost impossible to get the polish swirl marks (sanding marks) going in a circular direction. That's the major issue when you're trying to polish aluminum rims especially if they have major issues. If you spin the trim rings all your swirls will be in the exact circular pattern as when they were new. But if you prefer going at it by hand it should work out well unless the trim has minor pitting from the brake dust.
