Brasso!

Anybody got an alternative, I'm trying to clean my brass door handles and it's awkward?

Believe it or not ketchup can be used to make brass shine! When the ketchup has dried use a toothbrush to remove it, give a quick buff and marvel

"Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt into one-half cup of vinegar, and add flour until the mixture becomes a paste. Rub into the brass, leave for about 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and buff dry."

Blimey,blast from the past. I remember being given a job by my dad to shine something with Brasso. Not seen it for years. There's probably an old wives' trick using rhubarb or something somewhere on the internet.
