I know this topic has been discussed on here in great lenght but since I have a short memory and am not sure if this has been suggested before...
I was in a hurry to clean some rust stained and crappy looking porcelain grade buttons on a Sunoco pump, looked over at my buffing wheel and loaded the cotton buff with white stainless compound and went at it. The results were truely amazing. Tried it on a sign, great shine. It won't bring back faded porcelain or anything like that it just puts on a great shine with minimal effort. You can't hurt the porcelain by buffing it, I tried.
If someone else suggested this before then thanks for planting the thought so deep in my mind that I thought it was my idea.

I do the same thing if it's really bad I start with fine steel wool then switch to compond and the buffer,works great and you can't wreck it.
