Simichrome or MAAS metal polish both do a great job on un-anodized aluminum. My local Ace Hardware carries MAAS, and Velo-orange sells Simichrome. They are the same stuff as far as I can tell. If you really want the shine to last, finish with a coat of Renaissance Wax. Google it - incredible stuff!
I don't know why, but polishing metal to a high gloss is SOOO rewarding.
