I've got polished (not painted, not chromed) a-molds, and regular car soap and elbow gress isn't working. Any suggestions?

You're best choice is a ph neutral soap for maintenance cleaning, so you've been doing right by sticking with that. Heavier chemicals will cloud/discolor polished aluminum faster than you can blink so you have to be very careful.
That being said, what specifically isn't working about the soap/water? Do you have heavier brake dust contamination or some other problem?

A little bit of break dust, but what's really not coming off is what looks like water spots. Corrosion maybe?

Follow up with a quick polishing to shine them up and finish off with your preferred wax. That'll keep them shining and easier to clean as well.
