Totally true! I have an old bicycle that was covered in rust. Before attempting anything else, I tried this trick because it was simple a cheap. WORKED LIKE A CHARM!

The bike looked great afterward, and I was able to salvage the handle bars and fenders, which is why I wanted the bicycle in the first place.Finish with chrome cleaner/polish to bring out the shine!

So you're wicked happy with your new chrome edged kitchen. It's modern, it's beautiful - it's rusting! Here's an incredibly EASY, CHEAP way to take care of all your worries. Wrap aluminum foil around your finger, shiny side out, and rub until the rust disappears. Then wipe the surface with a damp cloth. PROBLEM SOLVED! And all with what was already in your kitchen. Hope this helps you. Take care of you and those you love.

I have a drum set that ive just added too with some second hand parts, theres no difference in the type of chroming (is that the right term? hehe) used to chome drum kit and symbal stands. Having said that, will this work for the chrome on a drum set? and does it actually get rid of the rust spots? as opposed to covering them?
thanks, Chris.
