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.

Try using blue coral aluminum polish. I tired that on mine before I gave up and took them to a professional
