I have a chrome grill with service rust. Does anyone know the best way to remove it? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

If the rust is not too bad you can goto Wal Mart or other stores and get a can of Never Dull. It works great on light non pitted rust..

Any time, it's best to wipe it on and let it haze up just like wax. Then just buff it off. Might take 2 or 3 times but it works.

I used a buffer on some metal polish a while back on a pair of tailpipes. If you have a buffer you might want to try that. Just make sure you have it at a low speed

Brasso, or very fine steel wool and WD-40.

Never Dull or Mothers Chrome Polish ... i bought a used chrome GMC grille and used this method to polish off the surface rust .... did nothing for the pits, but the rust is now gone.

BTW: the grille is for sale - 71-72 GMC - email me for more details.

Hope this helps
