any suggestions to quickly remove oxidation from aluminum wheels

Does anyone have any suggestions to 'quickly' remove oxidation from aluminum wheels? The part that has the oxidation is the 'rim' part (the portion that is 6.5-inches wide) and I do not believe that it is clear coated.

"Quickly" to me would mean 30 - 60 minutes per wheel. This would probably mean using a chemical process to start and then finish up with some hand rubbing/polishing. It sure would be nice if I only needed to spend an hour per wheel to get them shiny again.

I was not smart enough to wax the wheels when I purchased the car and of course now I am paying for it. Rest assured that once they get cleaned this itme around they will get several coats of wax.
