April 4, 200520 yr If it's just surface rust, Turtle Wax will remove it, takes some elbow grease but it works. You want the liquid type, not the paste. If the rust is deep, you won't get it all without removing the Chrome in that area
April 4, 200520 yr Brillo bad with the soap works great or you could go with some sort of Chrome polish.
April 4, 200520 yr well, they are ones i am going to pull from some old subies in the j/y...I believe they are stainless steel.
April 4, 200520 yr If chrome, DON'T use steel wool/Brillo. One of the cheap-o liquid car waxes worked for me, or (if you can find it) "Chrome Polish" = liquid in a bottle/can...works even better. After cleaning them up, give them a good coat of wax. It helps repel the snow and mud (and water) a little. I spray the backs with a light coat of WD-40, it helps slow the rust and corrosion some. Just my 2 bucks
April 5, 200520 yr Boy, don't you guys ever scrub pots and pans? Scotchbrite has several no-scratch fake steel wool pads that will do the trick and won't scratch the metal much, if at all. You can find them in grocery stores, Home Biggies, Walmart, etc. Doesn't have to be the Scotch brand: just look in the home stuff section for non-scratch pads. Incidentally, we use them at the shop for taking the final little bit of sealer off aluminum mating surfaces like block halves. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com
