Ok PSB brains trust. What's the best way to remove little specks of surface rust from swingarms, triple clamps etc?
CLR clear? Sandpaper? A scourer? Piss on it?

Trade in.

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.
beach riding, let that salty sand just scrub it off.
butif that doesn't work for you, maybe just use a little rust converter before trying sandpaper, ooo and angle grinder will do it...

Ranex diluted with water.

What is it on? A ball of alfoil works well.

Post a pic of how bad it is

1.Sandblast it

If its just on the surface, WD40 and a Sctoch-Brite.

Ranex, fine steel wool then Autosol.

Autosol works well
I REJECT YOUR REALITY AND SUBSTITUTE MY OWN

Old fasion steel wool that is pre soaped, majic on any old chrome etc

I use stainless steel wool and very light pressure or the balled up alfoil Daise mentioned works well too especially with a bit of wd40 or similar oil, follow up with a decent metal polish such as mothers, autosol etc unless you want to repaint or polish in 5 stages try not to use anything too abrasive.
Do you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.
So, steel wool + wd40, then autosol?
Sounds like a go!
Thanks all!
Use an extra cut cream polish on the painted surfaces after washing with a soft soapie scourer! On chromed surfaces use a xxxx grade steel wool,(stainless steel is best) Finish with autosol to polish.
Looking at the surfaces, they wont come up like new but will look heaps better.
