Rust on chrome spoke wheels
I have some rust on my Chrome spoke wheels. I want to remove it the easiest way possible without damaging the underneath, What would be the best thing to use?.

I've had good luck with products containing oxalic acid ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] such as a home cleanser called Barkeepers Friend ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] . Works fine on my motorcycle.

There are products with the acid base (Nevr-Dull ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] , "The Must for Rust" from Krud Kutter [affil links]) and another way is to use aluminum foil (wadded up). I have had good results with the acid on the rust (half hour or so) followed with the aluminum foil.
