What I have found the best thing for this kind of job is what I've used for many years now in my armour making is buffing pads, these are hard foam blocks with abrasive carborundum on them these come in all kinds of grades and if you rub two together you wind up with a very fine grade and they bring up brass very well.
Infact as Jerjen has mentioned any form of polish is a no no for after a while you finish up with awful green gunge all over for you can never get into those gaps to get rid of the stuff, any sort of polish only gives a temporary shine and after a day or two your back where you began. I would not recommend any rotory buffing as this can work out to be very dangerous if you should catch a loose scale, you should find these buffing pads at hardware stores
