[Boatanchors] Chassis Cleaning

[Mark Bell]

HI all --

Over the years I've tried various things to remove pitted rust from
chassis, and have acheivied various results.

One of my "in progress" radios is an HQ-170 that has pitted rust 
over the entire chassis.    I tried some new products this time and
have been impressed with the results.

First, I clean with Isopropyl Alchohol and then rubbing compound if
ncesssary.  That yields a clean chassis, but is very marginal about
removing pitted rust etc.  Now the new stuff.  I then apply a coating of  
"Klean Strip Rust Remover", let dry, and wash off as per instructions.  
Then I apply one or two coats of "Never-Dull" metal polish.   I've been 
impressed  with the results.  The pitted rust is removed and the 
chassis is bright and shiny.

The Rust Remover is available a Wal-Mart, and I got the Never Dull
at my local hardware store.
