Sand 'em and polish 'em. Wet sand with some 400 or 800 grit to get out the deep stuff then polish with mothers or whatever else you prefer. For a deep gloss use fine jewelers polish.
What kind and size are they?

If they are really bad oven clean and steel wool will get really heavy stuff

Sand in stages, 800-1000 grit followed by a good polish should shine them up
