oxalic bath for the steel/chrome bits and components, will leave the pitting but you can polish it once the rust is gone , peek on the ally bits, once over to clean , more if you want em shiny :daumenhoch: nice set of tanwalls would suit :daumenhoch:

Peek is much kinder than Autosol, not as abrasive :daumenhoch:
