I salvaged some super rusty forks before.
Just using various different grades of wet n dry sand paper and WD40.
Cheers, Bob.

Yes, autosol is my favorite for polishing. What makes it work better is using your finger. The oils in your hands add to autosol's shining prowess. I learned the finger trick in cadets polishing brass. Just don't lick your fingers while you're doing it.

Yeah sure is, but i would suggest allocating different fingers for each job.
Cheers, Bob.
