A jewellers polishing cloth would do the trick.

But would the polishing cloth destroy the plated gold on the surface? I heard that it's not good to use a polishing cloth on a gold plated surface. And if the polishing cloth would do, where can I get one (i am sorry, I am new to the fountain pen collection, know little about this area). Thanks~!

no, it would not destroy the plating. cheap pens might have thin plating and you would need to be careful, but a MB will surely have adequate plating. Jeweller's cloths are not as abrasive as a polishing compound either, so there will be no danger to the pen. I have restored many pens and use more aggressive methods with no problems. "sunshine cloths" can be bought from richard binder's website, and I'm sure other places as well.
