1. Bowl of lemon juice or vinegar
2. scrunch up a hand full of tinfoil
3. dip it in the juice regularly
4. rub a dub dub !
5. the tinfoil will start to break down and the juice will become filled with l=tiny sparkley bits
6. keep rubbing - the broken down particles mixed with the juice form a type of mild abrassive compound to remove the rust. Because the foi is softer than the chrome plate it doesn't scratch the chrome.
7. Good luck !

Me and my dad have started another cheeky little budget build; a survivor.
