Cleaning: House Numbers

My house numbers have been bugging me for over a year. What I'd really love is a fancy number plaque to give some presence to the house numbers nailed over the garage.
What I've got is this.
Mismatched brass numbers. The fours weathered differently than the three, to the point that from the street they look black, and you can hardly see them. It's ugly AND unsafe.

It's been bugging me for so long, that I totally missed the answer that was right in front of my face!
Hello!
I've had this brass polish for over a year, and just the other morning it finally hit me that I could use it on the house numbers - they're brass! Uh, duh!

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but after a lot of elbow grease they look much better!

Until the day I can get that fabulous number plaque, I can live with this!

My first linking party! Thanks A Soft Place to Land!
