are they chrome? I don't think you will be able to get them looking new again but I think with some good polish you might be able to get them to look a lot better. I used steel wool on some tips I had on the car and it got them looking better

If these are chrome, don't sand them. Get a chemical rust remover or just use 000 steel wool. If they are stainless, then you can try the other things mentioned or a chemical rust remover or steel wool. Steel wool won't scratch the chrome whereas sandpaper will.
