Yes - take the hinge off before cleaning. I prefer Blue Magic Metal Polish - found at most auto parts stores I guess. A small bottle (also comes as a paste) lasts forever it seems.

After you clean/polish it, either use a spray lacquer (for brass) to seal it or I use Renaissance wax polish which is excellent on everything.
