Nice going on the great looking button.
I have read many times folks use lemon juice to bring out the gold wash.

Start with lemon juice, that typically brings the gold gilt to life. If it has crud encrusted on it, lemon juice may still work, but if it's really encrusted you may have to go to more agressive methods (like Naval Jelly). Don't clean it with a brush under water, that can leave them in bad shape.
