			I wondered if you guys had any ideas about using commercial metal polish?  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I've used one normally used as a chrome or exhaust cleaner to remove most kind of metal oxidation that is around the 00 steel wool requirement or worse (not sure if I should mention its name here). It seems to do this without leaving obvious scratches, and do it fast. The only problem is that if you don't want a polished surface then a rub over with strong soap solution is needed due to the wax they include. If for some reason you do want a polished surface, then 000 steel wool afterwards produces an amazing finish even on poor quality grainy steel   I'm not sure exactly what is in there. There is a fine abrasive, wax and a number of solvents that make rust removal easier, but exactly what they are and what they do, and what the down sides might be, I'm not sure.  |
