 Old nickel plating cloudiness

This is something I've noticed fixing clarinets from various eras. Whenever I polish newer nickel plated keys the always come out with a mirror like finish. But whenever I polish the nickel plated keys of a 50+ year old instrument they often have a slight cloudiness only visible under bright light, no matter how much I polish. I normally use a liquid polish like Maas or Mothers polish, I've tried rouge polish but that doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone have any success getting a mirror like finish out of old nickel keywork with some other method?
