As for polish, how about what jewelers use for gold and other soft precious metals, as for non-scratching?
Works on the brass and nickel silver, and even removes light stains from high spots on blades.
Simple stick of jeweler's rouge, rubbed on an oiled cloth. A $7 stick will last, oh, only 15-20yrs or so, so, you might want to buy a handful.
Being a red oxide, it might be bad juju for aluminum when pressed hard on a high speed buffer where it could be imbedded in the metal, but have never seen such a thing happen by hand polishing.
As Father Fitzgibbon aptly observed, "Golf is nothing but a pool table moved outdoors."
