Fork tube rust
#5
You may find a lot of it is light surface rust rather than pitting. Get some aluminium foil, scrunch it in a lose ball and wet it. Then lightly rub the fork tube. You may find that takes it all off. The soft aluminium will not ruin the hard chrome but no need to pres hard regardless as that can have a little dulling effect if you really go at it.
