I just bought my 95 savage a couple of weeks ago from a guy in camden, sc. I live in Savannah. I have noticed a little bit of rust creeping onto part of the chrome( handle bars and some other areas throughout the bike). Anyone a lowcountry rider that has dealt with this? It's my first bike since being stationed here and I don't know...paint it with rustoleum??? Thanks.

i bought a rust removing gel. Its a pink gel, you should be able to get in the automotive sections of hardware stores.

Try automotive steel wool and then a polish like Never Dull. Apparently the polish works alone too.

I believe that one brand name is Naval Jelly. (That's NAVAL, NOT NAVEL. Navel Jelly would have too much lint in it Cheesy

)
