Rust removal

[rudyjrusa]

Hi - i need to remove some rust from the bumpers and license plate holder - are there any good products out there i can use to remove most of this rust - would like to place items in barrel with rust removal liquid - thanks

If the bumpers are chrome, you might be out of luck if the rust is heavy, however if you get some number 7 or some turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover, you might be able to pretty it up a little or a lot.  Depends on how much time you spend on it and i would buff it if it's a big area with an orbital and a ton of that chrome polish.
Here's a pic of the turtle wax junk i use.

Yes, that is Marisa Tomei looking at you.

That's cool.  I thought the pic maybe served as some kind of rust removal voodoo thing that you were keeping secret from us.

turtle wax...it does wonders <--thats what she's saying

If the chrome is pitted really bad start out with dry "fine steel wool" then follow with a polishing compound and finally a wax to help seal it up. You might want to try "Flitz" polish if you want to remove the tarnish and protect it in one step.
