Experimenting. Always test first.

Never cared much for the brass flake look, so tarnished (and less noticeable) is perfectly fine with me. But if so inclined, try one or more of the following (on a test chip you care nothing about first, please....):
- Tiny dab of Brasso* on a cloth, rub it around the rolling edge. Rinse or wipe with water-wet cloth afterwards.
- Buff using a cloth polishing wheel and Dremel tool at slow speed (surface-mounted, not hand-held).
* available at The Home Depot
DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what the ingredients may do to ASM/CPC chips. The formulas for Brasso differ from country to country, too -- so something that works in the US may be lethal for chips when purchased elsewhere:
Just a hunch, but the US version is probably the safest of those three for chips. I wouldn't use hydrocarbons on ASM chip materials, even if just a test.
Dremel rotary tool (advise using a mounted -not hand-held- variable-speed model at low speed):

Off-topic, but I had no idea that Dremel is now selling a 3D model printer -- $999 at The Home Depot or Amazon.com:
