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


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

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

  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)
