Turning polished aluminum into a nickel look (more yellow)

Q. I have a situation where I need to turn something that is polished aluminum into something that is more nickel looking. I have tried using muriatic acid with no luck. Is there any product that I can use that will turn the polished aluminum into a more yellow look?

Thank for any help.
