Default Burnished vs. Polished Bronze

I have some deck hardware / fittings that are 'burnished' bronze, and
others that are 'polished' bronze (the difference being the latter have
a more finished/shiny/polished appearance - the former look like they
were simply plopped out of the mold).

By what process does one turn a 'burnished' piece into a 'polished'
piece?

Hold the piece against a rotating "mop" (a cloth wheel) loaded with
progressively finer abrasive powders from a glue stick.
