Light Surface Rust on Chassis

Hi,
What is the best practice to remove light surface rust from a TA/FC chassis.

The humidity is very high in the summer here.

Thanks

I've always seen guys use WD-40 and steel wool or scotch brite then a rag to clean up.

 

I did my entire dragster chassis, which had been sitting in Oklahoma, with wd40 and scotch brite pads. worked great. On a couple of spots I used a light wire wheel in my cordless. Turns your hands a nice shade of black if you don't have gloves on.

go to auto zone get a bottle of evapo-rust, and for a heaver spot, get some red scotch brite . this stuff is super safe = works great. if you get some, let me know and i will tell you how i do it. it really works. don

 

We use a marine gear oil its out in the trailer but we got it at walmart,its in a blue tube and was cheap.I did the car with it in the spring and it mostly lasts a season,a little goes pretty far.

surface rust on chassis

A common practice is to use spray on cooking oil.It doesn't evaporate like wd 40.Leaves a film on the chassis to protect from future rust.

 

scotch brite and motor oil
we have tried all the high dollar BS oils and shields
back to what works and it is the cheapest

Rusting

We are in the uk, i have tried alsorts, most evaporate, but the cleanest stuff i use now is bees wax, it gets damp over here (manchester) "rainy city",
now i have no problems, and it lasts
cheers

 

I've always used scotchbrite (the red stuff mainly) as opposed to steel wool. Much nicer on your hands, and it doesn't leave steel shards around on the frame to rust.
