Understand this. The stainless trim is the thin stuff made from stampings.
Beltline molding, fender speedline, windshield trim, that sort of stuff.
probably part of the grill as well.

The bumpers and doorhandles and hood ornaments are all chrome plated.

The stainless side trims are attached with mind steel screws and fittings.
These rust and drool all over the stainless.

Yes, you can pound out dings and polish out scratches in the stainless
pretty easily.

All the trim is supposed to be stainless, not chrome. Does this mean that
the tarnish and rust can simply be polished out as opposed to expensive
re-plating?
I thought stainless is not supposed to rust.
Please enlighten me. Thank you.
