Usually only need to reposition the cloth 2x to get a really nice shiny hub, and if the cloth is soft enough you can usually get the dirt/polish out from around the spoke heads too.
That's the best way I have found, old cotton mix socks work good as do the arm from a old flannel shirt cut up for rags. I place my wheels in my park truing stand to do a lot of the cleaning and polishing.
