The keys are made of nickel silver and plated in either silver or nickel (not sure which was used on the 4-20 model). Unless they are really badly tarnished I would suggest buying a jeweler's polishing cloth and using that to polish the keys. These should work well on either type of plating and won't wear through the plating like a buffing wheel might.
