WOW, just absolutely freakin' WOW. I'm 75 years old and never heard of nor thought of using Lime-A-Way for removing rust like that. I was ready to go over to Advance Auto and get some chrome polish and use a week's worth of elbow grease to clean up my old Goldwing. This is just amazing. I suppose I could use some chrome polish after the Lime-A-Way to put on a protective coat against oxidation. THANKS A TON for taking the time to educate us.

Turtle wax sells a chrome polisher and rust remover all in one, for$ 2.49 at Wal-Mart. Used it on my King. Removed the rust and shined the chrome. Best stuff I've ever used. But if the lime away works by all means, use it. Just that the turtle is faster and safer.
