There is a special lacquer for brass.
  Most coatings instantly dull your hard work polishing.
But there is a special one that doesn't.
  Mcmaster sells it.

  If you can take your numbers down and get them into your hands, 
polishing on a powered cloth buff is really the best way.  Hand rubbing 
you could be there forever and never get to the mirror polish you 
probably want.
