Cleaning them before and after every performance with this stuff. Plus having a separate pair for practice only.
If you have cast bronze cymbals, pretty much anyone will tell you not to clean them, including myself. Sheet bronze cymbals (zildjian ZBTs, Sabian B8s, etc.) however probably sound better clean.

I recently bought a bottle of groove juice for cleaning cymbals and it works great. No idea if it will clean that though. I have used brasso on cymbals before and it cleaned them up nicely ... being ex-military in a sea faring service I know the power of brasso and it can remove that corrosion.
Not that this dude doesn't sound like an asshole but have you tried those gel sound dampeners for drums? They're about an inch across and sticky, and they don't affect the tone the way some others do. My husband uses them.

A lot of people do not like to polish their cymbals because (if i'm not mistaken) the dirt and grime gives them a dryer, darker tone. I only noticed a difference on my Paiste crash, as I scrubbed off some patina on it's underside. It's now more washy and bright sounding, I personally think it sounds better. All of the other cymbals besides my splash were not significantly dirty, though. They only had fingerprints and some stick marks, so I doubt it affected the tone much.
If you're thinking of cleaning/polishing your cymbals, just be careful of what you use. I've heard some cleaners can take off logos. I use Groove Juice and it works great.

Is that the same as Buckaroo cymbal cleaner? I have some of tat stuff under the sink and if its the same Id like to clean some of that crap off of my cymbal stands.

Groove Juice is what I've used, and it works as it should. I don't understand the appeal of dirty cymbals
Groove Juice, works awesome. Be careful with the markings/labels/ink it will remove them if you aren't careful. You can tape off the ink if you're worried about it. Let the spray sit on the cymbal for about a minute (you can be fairly generous with the spray), then work it in with a toothbrush and rinse off.

Yea, I use Groove Juice. You can dilute it for hardware.
This stuff is awesome! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BUCV3S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519580001&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=groove+juice+cymbal+cleaner&dpPl=1&dpID=41z%2BWnqM%2BEL&ref=plSrch
