With simple green soap diluted a little with water as a lubricator. Soak the patch of wool with it and keep the part wet with it. Don't rub too hard, LIGHTLY RUB and stop when paint/rust/tarnish goes away or you will eat thru. Rinse with water, dry..... and follow with polish if you wish. Rust is tricky because it can be in the pits. The wool will remove it but under the rust sometimes lies de-chromed metal! ugly. Nothing you can do except go slow and stop as rust almost disappears if you have a part like that. Surface rust/oxidation comes right off and shine is renewed. If it has pits and bubbles, it can only be "restored" so much before re-chrome is necessary.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
