Rusty bike
« on: 14 February 2017, 06:33:47 pm »

 ok foccers so I finally got out for a decent run today and saw my baby in daylight for the first time in months. I never got round to the ac50 this year and put her in the garage wet so the question is what's the best method and products to sort out the ensuing rust ?

If you're trying to get rust off chrome parts apparently rubbing with aluminium foil dipped in coke or vinegar works wonders.
