I really appreciate all the helpful info everyone has provided.
Here’s what I have so far. Using a straight edge to scrape off the oxidation layer, followed by incremental grit sandpaper and eventually will buff with a wheel.

I normally lean strongly toward not restoring but whatever you decide to do with the metal framework, the improvement to the plastic seat material was well worth the effort.
