I have chromed steel handlebars which have had rainwater sitting on them all day at work on a number of occasions and I have a good few rust spots. A few questions:
Apart from visual effect, I am worried that this rust will eventually compromise handlebar strength. How worried should I be?
I have picked up from the 'net that one can remove rust spots by rubbing with wetted alu' foil until gone then following up with something like Brasso to shine and protect. Anyone tried this?
Having rectified the problem, what can I do to prevent further rust damage? Spray with 2-pack clear? car wax?
