Cleaning Satin Nickel Finish

I have a steel .45ACP Colt Commander in a Satin Nickel finish that I bought new many years ago. The finish is starting to look terrible - no rust or anything like that - the finish simply looks dirty and dark. I haven't tried to clean it because I don't want to use a polish that could damage the finish rather than clean it up. What should I buy to clean it up so the Satin Nickel finish looks the way it did when I bought it? The pistol has not been abused in anyway and other than the finish problem it is in an excellent like new condition.
Let me know what you would recommend - thanks

You might want to call Pittsburgh Handgun, 412-766-6100. They do plating work and gunsmithing, and are the best I have seen. Colt refers plating requests to them. They may be able to give you advice, or, if not, they have the technical ability to do a first class job replating the gun.
