If you bother to shoot a bit of WD-40 on the chrome before using the steel wool you will find that it allows the steel wool to glide harmlessly over the chrome while removing the rust.

I have done this MANY times without taking the chrome down to the nickle (or, heaven forbid, the copper ).

Degrease and finish up with clear-coat to keep the rust from reappearing and you're good to go.
