Rust spots

[empress]

Can anyone tell me, please, the best and preferably easiest method to remove rust spots on our van wheel and nuts.

 

Many thanks, Empress :-(

Hi ladies, best method (short of sand blasting and professional refinishing) would be to remove each wheel in turn and thouroughly clean it then derust it with a wire brush in a power drill. then you can prime it with a prorietary metal priming paint and finally top coat it in a colour to suit.

 

Easiest method is to ignore it and let the next owner worry about rusty wheels :D

Thank you, Dave, I think your second suggestion is excellent and one we will carry out with ease.

 

Best wishes, Empress

Why not buy a set of nice shining plastic wheel nut covers an put them on?

What Diamond Dave sez is what you really should do of course.

I would go for Dave's 2nd option because the 1st time your M/H goes in for a service after doing 1st option, all your good work will be undone when the garage get their windy gun on the wheel nuts, so they can check your brakes. :D :D

BUT

if you do go for 1st option, please make sure you do not get any coating on the nut surface mating up to wheel
