Yellowing/stain removal for a coolant tank

I located a very cool rare as heck original (dealer add on) coolant expansion tank. It's got some yellowing and a few stains on the exterior, but super nice. Has half a sticker left, so NOS left in the open, early take off and/or off a clean truck.

My first instinct to clean was fine sand paper. Now I'm thinking baking soda in water and fine steel wool. Even white vinegar. Anyone with experience knows what works best? The goal is like new or close, and of course no damage. Thank you.

I developed an assembly guide (kit) for restoring this truck from the ground up, complete with details including full hardware descriptions. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM. My build thread, with some info. about the assembly kit https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
