You can use Tripoli and finish with jewellers' rouge if you're machine polishing them (using a buffing machine or using a Dremel), then clean/degrease them and hand polish with a silver cloth or old T-shirt - both for unplated nickel silver keys and also nickel plated keys.

If you're hand polishing them, then Brasso will be fine - but it will take ages.
