Best method of rust removal?

What are your guys' most effective means of removing rust? My chrome grill guard got a little rusty in spots through the winter.. i was wondering if there are any preferred methods of removing it? Suggested appliances? Or even house-hold items that'll help do the trick? Thanks,,

Post Rust Removal

Steel wool and then acetone (nail polish remover) will remove rust. It might take the chrome off too. If so, take a trip to Wal-Mart and get some faux chrome paint to touch it up. You might want to try adding a gloss over the entire grill guard to prevent moisture from getting under the chrome. If you REALLY want to do a number on it, you can soak the spot in some sulfides (not sure what the formulas are), but that's definately not household. Hope this helps.
