Snake Oyl does nice work. Note that if needed the re chrome the tongue which removes the clear plastic coating where the webbing goes. If you have nice part they will buff them instead.

They also take parts in trade. If you have several sets to send it to make one great set they may give you credit for the spare parts.

BTW I have tried the dishwasher (when the wife was out of town) on someones recommendation. Ran them twice on pots and pans with air dry. The gold belts turned out great. Some of the tags were still age yellowed, but they can be replaced.

I just threw them in the dishwasher and then line dried them.
If the plastic "buckles" need work, you can paint them but first use an adhesion promoter.

If you take 400 emery paper and sand them until the marks are out then polish them on a buffer, they come out bran new.They might only need to be polished and not sanded try
polishing first
