Rusty Chrome

[Demon350]

need some help, my pipes have got some rust on them, do you guys know what to use to get rid of it ?

we used the bench grinder with a polishing wheel on my buddys to clean his pipes up when they rusted, it worked really good. just use a little polishing compound and it should work ok for ya

you might be able to get away wiht CLR from any store, but it may come to sanding and polishing, or rechroming

Thats about it. If you get Mothers Mag polish and use a rag, you'll be there until you're 60 years old.

 

You could just go have them re chromed. Thats probably the easiest, but most expensive way.

try some 00 steal wool depending on how much rust that might clean them up also

thats guna infest them in tiny scratches

i gently rubbed steel wool on my pipes and they came out perfect with no noticeable scratches

they have this naval jelly stuff (its pink), you can get it at wal-mart in the automotive paint section I believe. It will reduce rust to as small of a spot as possibly it can, usually smaller than the eye can see. what happens is that it'll get a little pinhole of rust in the chrome and then spread on the top of it.

 

Any way you do it, its gonna take some arm work, but thats your best bet, besides rechroming. If its really bad, I'd consider the latter

steal wool made for paint works good

use 0000 steel wool, that wont scratch them
