re: remove rust

Brass brush, chrome polish, naval jelly?
In that order until one works I would do.

 

Be careful with the pressure on that brush. I know that brass is soft but so is chrome. And, it's only a thin layer. Try Eagle One also.

 

rust on welded parts



Rubbing compound and a soft rag works wonders !!!!!!!

 

Turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover. Apply with a toothbrush or rag.

 

I use very fine steel wool(wet) on my chrome. Great for cleaning, but I don't know if it'll remove rust.

 

If it is surface rust a little cleaning will be good to go but rust has a tendency to work from the inside and out.

 

All the above. Over the years I have used all the devices listed above depending on application and severity of the rust. As suggested try different items to see what will work best for your situation. Good luck.

 

remove rust from Chrome

I googled the same thing and found Wood Bleach was the stuff to get, its a light Acid you mix with water either soak your parts overnight in a solution or you can spray on leave for a while and wash off with water, I tried it and it works great, most large Hardware Stores stock it.
hope this is of use
cheers.

 

remove rust from chrome

Sorry I forgot to mention the name of the acid its called Oxalic Acid

 

Good luck in the long run! If the welde was clean and the plate job good, it wouldn't be rusting. Agree with the comment that is is likely a bottom out problem. Most probably from porous plating. Oxalic acid will help remove the corrosion but be sure to rinse very well. To slow up the process, perhaps seal with clear acrylic spray, keep heavily waxed, etc. Keep an eye on it for crack development.

Sounds stupid, but wet aluminum foil is great for removing rust from chrome. The foil is harder than rust, but much softer then chrome. The water just breaks the friction. Works great, give it a try!

 

or even crazier... coke and aluminum foil. crumple the foil like you would a piece of paper, apply coke/pepsi or brand-x coke, rub, then wash it all off for a great shine!
