from: "Craig Fenstermaker" <cfenstermaker@cryocor.com>

The problem, ferrous metal corrosion on various plated brake caliper bits, ie. the quick release levers and arch springs. The concave surfaces have quite a bit of "surface" rust and the flat sections are peppered with several corrosion craters.

Is it safe to use a solution such as {NAVAL JELLY} prior to using a polishing compound?

Suggestions on removing the rust while not stripping the remaining plating would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help Craig
