In my experience nothing beats the buffing machine for reviving the finish on tired rims and hubs. First picture shows the Mavic Module E wheel on a crusty old Peugeot I got. Next picture is the rim after a visit to the buffing machine. Wheel eyelets cleaned up great and new stickers add to the brilliance. Last picture are the hubs that were recently sold on BF. Polishing by hand is okay but a buffing machine really nails it on rims and hubs.
