Rust

[808blaster]

Anyone got any tips on an easy way to clean rust off frame and axle? Just wanna shine her up a little without having to remove everything

elbow grease. go find some sand paper, steel wool or a brush on a hand drill

What grit sandpaper? And do u know of any God polish to bring the shine back?

a couple hours with rubbing compound and a buffing wheel on a hand drill got all the discoloration and rust off then hit it with blue magic metal polish and got this perfect shine. You can even see my polish, rubbing compound and drill in the background along with some degreaser I used for cleaning other stuff

I saw the pics of the axle in your other thread. That thing is never gonna "shine". Your only choice is to grind, sandblast, or glass bead blast the rust away, and paint it.

I tried that, only works on chrome. I tried it on my rims and it kinda works but only as good as rubbing it with steel wool. It won't get anything worse than minor surface rust off steel
