It's a good way to remove your future interest in touching them again.

Motor oil is pretty good at removing rust from chrome. But, if you're just soaking, you're only going to get it superficially.

I'd recommend a Breakfree CLP type oil which with one pass should take the rust off, penetrate the metal and protect it against the corrosion spreading.
