I wouldn't do anything to it, certainly can do more damage than good.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Cleaning a heavy iron meteorite
First problem is: That's NOT an iron meteorite.
Second problem is: It's a highly weathered Chondrite and that isn't
gonna get much better.
Sorry....

Hi all,
A year ago I found a large heavy iron meteorite. When I found it the color
was a dark brown. In my attempt to bring out the true color, I decided to
use a dremel tool with a fine wire brush bit to clean it. The dremel brush
I
used was extremely soft and gold in color and it turned slightly gold in
color. So, I bought a soft stainless steel wire brush and now it turns
grey
when I brush it. What is the best way for me to clean it to get the true
color?
Here are the original images after I used the gold color brush:
