Restoring an old brass Zippo lighter

I've got my late grandfather's old Zippo lighter from 1990. It says solid brass and it's pretty tarnished. I'm going to send the inside portion back to Zippo for some repair (lifetime warranty, i believe) and try to restore the outside. I've never restored anything brass before. Any hints on getting the lighter in good condition again?
 
btw, yes, i've googled it......but there are so many techniques, home remedies, etc. looking for some actual experiences.
 
I think Zippo will do the outside also if you send it in to them. I know they used to. I sent them a couple in the 80s and they reconditioned them for free.
