Can you Power Wash rust off a bike?

Question

If you cant can you tell me how i can remove rust from pegs, chains, and the little bars the pedals are on. (what are they)

Answer 1

The most effective method I have tried for surface rust on a bike is an SOS pad.

Answer 2

You shouldn't power wash (pressure wash) bikes in general.  It will force water into the bearings.

Answer 3

clr - (calcium lime rust remover) - and steel wool.

Answer 4

No - Power Washing will make the rust worse.

use oil and a rough cloth and this will minimise the rust.

If its really bad you may have to use sandpaper or emery paper (a fine grit paper that is more gentle)
