cleaning and protecting copper

We have the original grates for our heat vents and I want to clean all of the years of paint and grime off of them and use the original metal finish. I used some paint stripper and mineral spirits on one and realized it is copper not iron like we originally thought.

Is there a better way to clean it? How can I protect the finish so it won't rust or get dirty quickly?
