Kohler 1036994 Bronze Replacement Part Review

My original Kohler oiled bronze drain plug has chipped and started to peel around the edges. This new one fits perfectly and works like new. But the finish appears to have tarnished much earlier than the original piece.

Disappointed. I'm keeping it because I can't find it anywhere else, but it's not as described! This is not a copper assembly. It's all plastic. My old one was scratched so I unscrewed the drain plug from this one and put it on my intact brass assembly. But these plastic rods are junk.

I don't understand why it's cloudy around the edges. My old one was ruined trying to remove the haze thinking it was limescale. The one I recently bought surprised me when the cloudiness disappeared when I poured hot water over it. Now it doesn't bother me that much, there is an easy fix, but it annoys me that I have to do it.
