Try using common or garden Brasso but bear in mind that the cloth you use needs to be very soft and spotlessly clean or it will scratch the surface as you polish it.
As you work it will make a horrible black mess but once this is rubbed away, you will find the shine underneath. I have often used this to get a mirror finish on alluminium parts.
Maybe test on a less conspicuous part first though....just in case!
