Either a terry towel or a combination of felt wheels. Though not Meg's products, Flitz makes a felt ball that attaches to a drill, as does Mother's, both make it easy to get inbetween the raised areas. -
Thank you. I do have on of the mothers polishing balls. Although sometimes it does not take all the residue off at the bottem of the diamonds.Support The Troops, Americans, Canadians, British. If They Are Ours Support them.Comment

If you really want to take your time, you may want to look into getting a collection of felt wheels, cones, and cotton mushroom attachments for polishing aluminum. They are designed to reach areas that other attachments can't get to. I have seen them advertised as aluminum polishing kits at a few hobby sites online.Comment

I've ordered several buffing wheel products from this vendor. Good service and you can call for recommendations.
I've also tried the Powerball and you're right: the foam will deflect and not get into the base of the diamond plate.

i know this isn't a meguiars product but, the best aluminum polish i have found is the purple metal polish from California Customs. i have polished aluminum wheels and can do all of them in 15 minutes with this stuff.NAComment
