Rust on a bull bar

I have a stainless steel bull bar and today I noticed a little rust on it. What's the best way to remove it?

Pictures of what your dealing with would be great.

Bead blast if that is a option then a clear coat sealer or paint the color of your choice

I have no experience with it, but I've heard Coca-Cola works well for removing rust too.

Metallurgy...

Well as you've just discovered, not all "stainless steel" is created equally. In fact most formulas are pretty susceptible to corrosion, shocking I know..


Abrasives get the crud off, polishing makes it pretty, followed by a sealer.
