If it is brown or red rust, it is an iron based material. Touch a magnet to the metal, if it sticks, it is not Aluminum , rather an iron based material. Most likely it is sheet steel with a chrome finish. If that is the case, a very fine sand paper will remove the rust. Progressively sand the area with fine grit in one direction, then a finer grit at a 90 degree angle until the scratches are gone. Then repeat with finer grits until it is a 1000 grit or finer.
