Rust on chrome

How do you get rid of rust on chrome? I have a chrome grille/brush guard and I would like to remove the ugly rust forming in two spots.

Thank you

Re: Rust on chrome

they make some chrome polishes with rust remover which work quite nicely if the rust isnt too bad. Also use like #0000 steel wool to help work it out. that shouldnt scratch it.

Take some corn starch, sprinkle it on your chrome and then take a sliced lemon and go over it. Safer than steel wool and works great.

If, after a few attempts, the rust won't budge then try some steel wool.

Re: Rust on chrome

Thanks guys.

Chadm 88, any particular product you have used in the past that works well?

Anthony, thanks, I will give the corn starch & lemon a try, how did you find that out?

Re: Rust on chrome

You want chrome to really jump out at you, put on NuFinish, it protects the chrome and removes surface rust.

Re: Rust on chrome

I use turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover, works great unless the rust is really deep

Lemon, or better yet, citrus juice in general, is acidic and is a great cleaner. The corn starch acts as a mild abrasive.

It works well and should work on your problem, unless it's really bad rust.
