I do not advise using something like brasso on these buckles. Many have an applied patina or other applied surfaces that brasso, etc., might remove. Washing in warm, soapy water is all I ever do. I use dishwashing soap.
This buckle looks like brass plated base metal, maybe zinc, so brasso might even remove some of the brass plating. Here is a how to for cleaning brass and brass plated items.
