Subject: [CR]Was Al anodizing, now Fe rust removal

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
