I've used an oxalic acid bath to remove rust from chromed steel bits and it works really well. A few weeks ago I saw a piece on a hot rod show on Speed Channel about a product called Metal Rescue http://www.metalrescue.com that was supposed to be "environmentally friendly" and requested a sample on the site. There's lots of videos there how it works. I've tried to compare it against oxalic acid, but so far have only done it on a couple of really rusty license plate screws I found in the garage. Neither one came out bright and shiny after 24 hours. I've yet to try it on rusty chrome parts.
