How to clean and polish MC275?

I have had the tube cage on my McIntosh MC275 MKIV for a few months now. I removed it today and found a thin layer of dust had settled under there. A wipe with a soft cloth has removed most of it but there is still a somewhat sticky remainder that requires some forceful rubbing to remove. Is there a safe product or way to clean this to regain its mirror finish? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Don't use chrome cleaner,or car wax/polish.The big majority of it has an abrasive polish,that will leave swirl marks,and haze.There are supposed to be non abrasive waxes,but I don't know any to recommend,and you probably don't need any.Be careful when cleaning over the silk-screened writing.It doesn't take much effort to rub it off.Cloth dampened with water should work.I haven't tried Windex,and it may be an option if water doesn't remove it.
