How do you take care of your brushed finish?

Just wondering what the preferred method for keeping the factory brushed finish looking good is.

My car was in storage for 14ish years and has a few marks on it here and there. Is there a preferred method for touching up the line finish and then how do you keep it clean. Seems oil from finger prints and gas drips around the fuel cap are pretty hard remove. I've heard mention of windex?

My car also seems to have a much courser finish around the lights then the rest of the body. Is that typical?

The original owner supplied some of the burgundy brillo pads, but they seem to leave too fine of a finish.

Thanks in advance 🤔
