How do you guys get rust off of crome, 

I finnally found a rider to ride with, He has an early 80's rebel   Got it for $100

any way thing that are wrong with his bike are

Aftermarket pipes with out a rejet (PO)

and rust on crome.

CHROME



SOS pad....good soapy covered steel wool

Minor rust can be removed with aluminum foil.  It's supposedly better if you use coca cola.  Just use it like sandpaper.  It's not hard enough to scratch the chrome, but it will take the rust off nicely.  Worked great on my forks.

Major rust means replace the part.

GReat advice

thanks

Err, not sandpaper.  Toilet paper.  Wad it up.  It's too thin otherwise.  And do it while it's on the center stand.

yeah, I figured like toilet paper. Its Ok

still good advice

I'm partial to Nevr-Dull polishing "cotton". Have never used it on highly polished chrome though, it might scratch a little. It's great on fork tubes, tho.

Steel wool is a bad idea.  Steel wool can imbed pieces of metal into whatever you're working and cause more rust.  Use at your own risk.

Ah, too fast for me.  Do NOT use steel wool.  It will take the rust off, but it'll be back in no time.

Never-Dull wont scratch.. I use it on all kinds of stuff:)

balled up aluminum foil and coca-cola.  Trust me.  If you need to clean stains off the mid pipe, toilet bowl cleaner works good.
