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.

Ask over in S.E.J.W Ernie has a lot of experience in passivating
stainless steel. I think he uses Citric Acid. A very few groceries
sell citric acid. It is used in baking.
