Aluminum foil and water/coke to remove rust?

[Shasta]

Hey guys

Seems to be a popular technique on YouTube and in forums.  Took my saddlebags off today and need to do some work on my pipes and shocks.

If not what do u guys use?

Thanks, Matt

I used the foil and water.

Keep switching the foil for new, lotsa water and don't rub hard.

Failing that Honda brand metal polish works well.

This will be like an oil thread in about the next 5 posts with so many recommendations

You can also use some 0000 grade steel wool with lotsa water to remove some bad rust pits.

Don't rub too hard!!!
