I have a little surface rust around the exhaust. Anyone know of an easy way to get it off. I've tried CLR remover but it didn't really work.

Grind it and paint it with exhaust paint. (heat resistant)

Is it on chrome? Find a product called "nev'r dull" at the auto parts store.

Naval jelly from permatex will get it off.

If it is rust on a chrome surface crumple up some aluminum foil, dip it in vinegar, then rub the foil over the surface. Rinse afterward.

Guys, if chrome will rust, it means that the chrome on that spot is already gone.
You might polish the brown away, but it will appear again and again...

Saw someone on youtube use toilet bowl cleaner from the Dollar Store(?). He slathered it on and waited a short time, then used tire cleaner(I think) to rinse it off. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFtIqAHB8UQ Sure worked on his machine. I will stick to washing with water & dish soap, and then use chrome polish on my old machine. On the exhaust trim, that's what I did, and it turned out better than before, but the tiny pits were still there, and always will be. tom |

The aluminum foil and the electrolyte vinegar cause a mild chemical action when the foil 'connects' to the surface like a battery and converts the rust. It is not nearly as strong as harsh chemicals but it works well. After the vinegar is washed off the surface can be coated with polish etc to help preserve it. The process does not abrade or otherwise harm the chrome. But like Tom says, "the tiny pits will be there and always will be."
