    Question Rust on Ways

    I have rust on my ways and would like to remove it without scatching or discoloring the ways. Any suggestions?

    wd40 and a finegrit steelwool. A polish finish is nothing more than a bunch of little scratches

    Don't use sandpaper.....
    That's a great way to kill any accuracy you have.
    Steel wool and WD 40 will work just fine.
