Accidentally removed/tarnished chrome plating on sink faucet, how to fix?

Hi all,

Hope I’m in the right subreddit to ask for advice here. I’m in an area with very hard water, so was cleaning my sink faucet with a white vinegar/water mix. Unfortunately I think I left some vinegar residue soaking on the faucet area too long and my sink faucet looks tarnished/stripped of the plating (hasn’t happened before!). From what I could tell on the manufacturer specs the sink faucet is brass with a chromium plating. Would anyone have any recommendations to fix/cover up the brown looking spots? Trying to avoid buying the new part is possible since it’s pricy…
