Ok, for a polishing compound use MAAS.  This stuff is incredible.  I use
it on my woodstoves and have seen no deterioration of the polish under
heat.  Also have applied this to the rims/exposed metal on the GTS.  The
sealant (step #2 of the system) actually seals the metal from corrosive
contaminants like battery acid and brake dust/water combination.  I
can't personally vouch for the battery acid test, but since putting MAAS
onto the rims I have seen ZERO brake dust eating into the aluminum. 
Also the chain lube that does make it's way onto the rim wipes off with
a rag and some cleaner.  I use Can-Do cleaner.  This seems to be one of
the best and works great for removing chain lube/brake dust/etc.  For
another reference read Motorcycle Consumer News (I can't recall which
month Dec97 or Jan98?).
