@Robb0 best job would be to use a rotary tool (Dremel) and some polishing bits (to get into all those CNC nooks and crannies. Failing that, use some Autosol and a rag and maybe some cotton buds, and further failing that, grab a rag and some Brasso and see how that turns out. May as well give Brasso a go before you do anything else, to see if you like, because results from the other two options will be better (Autosol) and better again (Dremel + polishing compound).
If you want a mega high shine, leave it unlacquered and polish it periodically. Lacquer will dull it. I suppose, however, that the finish would be more robust with a lacquer, so weigh up durability vs. aesthetics.
