Default SS knife question

I got a bunch of knife samples left over from when my wife used to wholesale
them. They've been sitting in the garage or storage for years now. They're
decent "beater" knives, one to be used for whatever without having to risk
using a good quality knife.

On some of them, there are blemishes appearing that look like small black
spots, or the webbing in mossy agate stone. I would like to take some
polishing compound and my Foredom with a small cotton buffing wheel of about
1" to see if I can polish these out. But I don't want to risk just making a
obvious spot on there, or delustering what's already there.

What would be a good approach to clean these up for sale on ebay. I have
already included the minor imperfections in the description. But it would
look nice to deliver them in a little better condition.

Suggestions appreciated.

Two things come to mind.\

Buffing wheel with rouge, assuming you own the buff, the
grinder/polisher, and the rouge.

The other would be a small can of valve grinding compound with a rag.
