Hiya!
well, as luck would have it I also got a lunar last week!
I have used 'Silvo' which is just the silver metal equivalent of 'Brasso'

Bascically it's a metal polish I can get in any supermarket, so I guess you must have a similar product in Italy.

It comes as a impregnated cloth type thing in a can, you tear a bit off, cover the metal in circular movements, then when all is covered, rub it all away.
At first it looks black, then the shine is revealed!
I will post a pic of my handiwork tonight so you can see how effective it is.

Good luck!
Lucy

I have used another product on my lunar recently and it works even better if you are carefull.
It's called 'Autosol' and I got it from a motor shop where you buy car wax etc.
it gets rid of rust, corrosion, water marks etc.
If you do use it, try not to use a circular motion on the cap and base, but it's fine for the legs.
It takes a little bit off the top, like 'T' cut, so it will leave circular scratches if you're not carefull.
