Sure, let it rust - sorry, build patina.
After all, it is cheaper and easier.
Most people see a rusty chassis as less (adverb here - valuable, desirable - so on) than a chassis with the chrome intact, which is why people always talk about it.
If a chassis has rust on it, it IS STILL rusting.
The polish the rust approach is less of a concern with common radios or those that can never be valuable enough to justify such an investment. We are not talking about one of those radios.
Believe me, it will only take a year or two to get fresh dirt on it - patina.
