What is everyone using? There are so many choices out there!

I’m just looking firstly to remove paint/rust/crud from e.g. handwheels of old lathe, and then to polish it up to a nice feeling in the hands.

Lidl had some “Scotchbrite” wheels a month or so ago, but I’ve not tried mine yet.

If using 3Ms so called unitised discs be warmed ! They may look harmless but will remove considerable metal if not used carefully. I used to use them to take brass casting from as cast to the first stage of polishing . Noel.

Degrease the item first.

Rotary wire-brushes will evict the worst paint and rust. For paint that’s still fully hard, use paints-stripper first but wash it all off before the brushing!

Citric acid solution is quite a good rust dissolver, as I found on a very rusty tap, but obviously it won’t fill in pits where the iron has gone back to Nature.

Then ‘Scotchbrite’ or similar, or wire-wool (wear suitable gloves).
