Thanks Roxy for the comprehensive explanation and information pertaining to tarnishes and oxidation on plated surfaces. With regards to stripping and re-plating the faceplate I think it is going to be a challenge as the existing black letterings and wordings (not sure if they are silkscreen letterings) on the faceplate will also be removed during the stripping process. Unless these letterings/wordings had been embossed on the faceplate, they will be gone forever after stripping and re-plating.
Well, I guess I will just have to leave it as it is and wipe it with a clean microfiber cloth occasionally. Thanks again.
