Dave,

I cleaned mine up years ago with very fine steel wool (#0000) warm soapy 
water and a lot of elbow grease.  They looked nice, but still had some dents 
and 
gouges and corrosion pitting from years of abuse.  Plus I then would have had 
to anodize them.

I recommend a new set from Kilmartin in Australia.  They are near perfect 
copies of the originals.

Cheers,

 Mine has become chalky looking, and I understand that it should not have a
 "High shine" so I'm thinking standard polishes are out?
 Any suggestions?
