I had a similar problem with rusting on "stainless" steel of a stove
top in a previous motor home. I got tired of polishing and having
the rust return, so took the top off (two thumb screws) and looked in the
local phone book for a chrome plate shop. (The Harley motorcycle/antique
car folks know where to find these chrome shops, they are generally smaller
outfits). They prepped it,
and chromed it. Talk about a shine! Cleaned up after spills
easier than before, too.
