Hi guys, a bit of advice please. I have a selection of metal Burago Classic Car Kits. Now how can I polish them, can I use Brasso or Duraglit, or just plain furniture polish.

I am not sure wheather there is the absolute need to polish your cars, however:
Tamiya has made some items that may be of use:
1: Tamiya modelling wax ( if your model just appears flat, this is probably the way to go ) and
2: Tamiya polishing compounds ( In course, fine and finish grit, for when your lacquer needs more than just another shine ).
I hope this helps
