That's almost as crazy shiny as the EAR gear and my Dodd ELP which is a right bastard to keep fingerprint free.

Well it's definitely more shinny than Dodd

I seem to recall using the Maas before, but my favorite is Simichrome. I've used that for years on my Campy bike parts, etc. Kind of hard to find in the US these days though (German product, Happich IIRC is the company that makes it).

Simichrome is a staple for pen restoration. Great polish. If you don't have a local place that carries it, you can get it at Pendemonium - Fountain Pens, Pencils, Inkwells, Stationery, and other Writing Equipment for Fountain Pen Enthusiasts (look under "repair supplies") and other places that might carry pen or jewelry repair supplies.

So I looked up Simichrome Polish and this this what the description is:

Fine polishing paste for hard rubber, celluloid, plastics, gold, silver and many other metals. Not for use on plated finishes.

This would make it unsafe to use on this pre as the finish is Aranya chrome, as in chrome plated I guess.
