I got a used FMF Gold Series Pipe and it has some rust on it. Does anyone have a good way of removing the rust to make the pipe shine like new?

Any advice or techniques would help.

Thanks

Maybe u could try a light scouring pad. When my dep pipe got rusty which is a bare metal finnish unlike your fmf. I got on it with a fine sand paper & resurfaced the bare metal it came up like brand new. Then I sprayed the pipe with a high temp clear coat to provide a seal.

I would hit it with some steel wool to remove the rust then polish it with some Mother's Chrome Polish. Bling Bling Baby!

Or use some Scotch Bright pads.

SOS pads, the ones with the soap in em.
A close second is steel wool, a decently fine grit.
3rd is Scotch Brite pads. If it's heavier rust it tears the pads up pretty quickly.

This is what I have found anyway when trying to clean rust off pipes, car wheels, and bicycle frames. I used to live in Michigan and I played with all my toys all winter long.

I've always been satisfied with a fine scotch brite and some WD40 for cleanup like that.

Thanks for all the tips. I went ahead and used some steel wool and some wd40 on the pipe and it came out pretty good. I think I will give the Mothers chrome polish a try later on.

Thanks again :) :) :)

Autozone and other parts stores sell Naval Jelly. Wipe it on and the rust goes away. The stuff rocks.

It even removes heat marks from pipes.
