some decals may be safe, but I have seen foil one's go south big time - if you want to save the decals, then go the hand polish Peek route

you might find that vinyl decals survive - but can't be 100% - so it up to you to chance it or not  :pilky:

Citric acids better in my experience. Get this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITRIC-ACID-1kg-Purest-Food-Grade-Anhydrous-Descaler-Bath-Bombs-/300922191152?pt=UK_HeathBeauty_BathShowCons_RL&hash=item46105c3d30

Wait till the missus is out (then she can't stop you)/have a bath suite you're about to replace cos it came with the house, pop a couple of buckets full of water in the bath so there's less volume of water in there, pop frame(s) in, cover the frame with water and bang about 250g of Citric to start with. Wait 6 hours or so and give the frames a go over with an old tooth brush. If the rusts not shifted, bang a bit more citric in and brush again. Rust should be gone in 12 hours-ish. Rinse the frames afterwards to get rid of any acid left - bonus is n'all it cleans the bath and trap  :daumenhoch:

If you can get the citric acid for free go for that, just as good and less likely to damage chrome as BMX1973 mentioned.
