Not quite fencing

I've got two swords that are giving me trouble. One is an un-sharpened showpiece, with a chromed blade. Some kind of black stuff is starting to develop on it; not sure if it's tarnish, or what. The other is a regular shortsword, Pakistani stainless steel. It's starting to get a touch of rust on the edge, and the blade itself is pretty cloudy. Any ideas how I can take care of these two?

Never-Dull. It comes in a cotton-like substance that is already treated that you rip off and treat the metal, then polish off with a soft clean cloth.

Where would you get Never-Dull? Or any similar product? I've noticed a bit of rust on one of the foils we use, I think maybe it got a bit damp in the recent flooding we've had here.

When removing/preventing oxidation does it matter whether your weapon is electric or not? None of ours are.

Thanks
