Try Bar Keepers powder from Home Depot. Really great on stainless. No bleach. Good on gelcoat too. Rust stains I use a spray also from Home Depot but try Bar Keepers first.

Also try CLR . I am curious why you have so much rust.

If the rust remover doesn't work...
I believe GW uses Scandvik fixtures. You can contact them direct and see if they sell the drain parts only, not sure they do. The other option would be to spring for a new faucet - expensive though.

Are you sure that's rust? Rust Out or Iron Out will do it if it is. If it's just dirt/grime, clean it.

Is the stopper pitted (which would mean it's chrome)? It looks like it is... unless you posted a picture that has water droplet on it. You can shine it up a bit with a metal polish like Flitz, but you can't make them disappear.

The rust removers mentioned and then rubbing compound.
Remove the drain and stopper andtake them to WM. Stare at the plumbing fixture aisle in West Marine. they have plastic and chromed plastic replacements.

My sink fittings look the same. Pitted crap. Same with faucets. But I use my sinks for fishing tackle storage so I don't do anything about it. I think my brother polished them once 4 years ago.

I bought a couple of these last year and they just sit on the old ones - no stopper though -$5 bucks on Amazon for 2- the look great and catch small stuff

Look for a grout cleaner with a high content of oxalic acid. Soak the rust and brush and soak and brush. It will remove the rust stain but if it's pitted, of course replacement is the only way to get it to look Bristol.
