Hi there,
I own a 17'RS, with double walled stainless exhaust 4-2. I thought stainless meant stain-less, but I was naive...
I've seen some on the chromed rim around the headlight, and a lot on the exhaust headers. (see pics)
First I saw it, and I thought "Oh, no, thats rust and corrosion", but I got an scotch-brite and tried to scrub it off on a small "sample area", and it's just surface "dirt".
The problem is that the scotch-brite also scratches the polished stainless (and I guess it will remove the chrome from the headlight rim), so...
What do you guys recommend to scrub this kind of surface-rust without damaging the nice-shining-polished surface below?
(A wet rug with WD40 does nothing)
