If it is just oxidized, I would use polishing compound, which you can get at any autoparts store. Take a soft cloth and dampen it a bit, dab it into the polishing compound and rub it on the trim in a straight line. Buff the compound off with a clean soft cloth. If polishing compound is not available, try rubbing compound.
I do not recommend naval jelly on aluminum, as naval jelly is corrosive. It is used mostly for rust removal, not aluminum oxidation.

Tough answer. If it is REALLY oxidized then it has eaten into the aluminum and it will always be pitted. It can be polished, but the pits will still be there. If it is not badly oxidized, the you can get something at most any hardware store or home depot. The old standby is Navel Jelly. You want to be sure you tell them it for Aluminum not rust. I would suggest something along the aluminum jelly route then an aluminum polish. Again, there are many, the most readily available is probably Muthers(available at most any auto parts house. At that point you will either need to keep it polished or spray it with polyurethane(spray cans available at paint store or home depot. hav fun and remember to bring along plenty of elbow grease.

Naval jelly (any auto store, marine, or hdw. store)
"Never Dull" works well too
