Polishing an aluminum airplane

I would like some input from those who have polished airplanes. I am polishing our 170 B with Nuvite and want to know if there is a better product. Are there waxes on the market for polished aluminum?

Fuel flow

I am interested in getting fuel flow input from other members. We have a 53 170 B and I am burning 9 g.p.h. leaned without the use of an E.G.T. .All that I read is closer to8 G.P.H. rather than 9 . The compression is good on all cylinders . Mark
