Tape off the window and paint to protect (tape and painters paper). Then use 0000 steel wool to polish (available at Sears hardware, Home Depot, Lowes). Keep the wool flakes vaccumed off while working. Finish off with a quality metal cleaner/polish on a soft cloth (brasso, etc.). Peel the tape.

They usually polish prettynicely, steel wool isgreat, a small buffing wheel is nice on a dremel, take your time, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
