You can still buy Brasso.

To clean it chemically before polishing it I'd paint it with a limescale
treatment. It's a bit aggressive (HCl) but it works and it's quicker than a
mild acid such as like lemon juice or vinegar. Then polish with Brasso or
some other proprietary brass/copper cleaner. It will be like new!

I'm surprised you got away with it, and no-one changed the subject to
'Mary cleans her knockers with hydrochloric acid.'

I'll try it next time, sounds a lot faster than the vinegar.
