Keith,
I'd first WET SAND it by wrapping 400-600 wet-dry paper around it, & twisting the post back & forth so as not to "sand against the grain" of the original lathe-turned finish. Don't sand too much, as you don't want to reduce the O.D. of the post. After sanding, use a polishing paste like "Mother's" or "Semi-Chrome". Make's 'em good as new if they're not badly pitted. Cheers,
Duane Kennard
