My basic ten has been in and around the water away from home. Didnt bring any oil with me. Now it has little specs of surface rust that wont come off with oil and a rag:mad:.

What should i use that wont scratch my beautiful Satin. ;)

Thanks in advance
 
Try toothpaste. Not the gel stuff, the regular white paste. It has a very fine grit in it that should polish the spots out. :)

Now that is old school but very effective. Baking powder paste is another option, as well as some stainless steel polish/cleaners. Go slow and use sparingly with a soft bristle tooth brush.
 
I like Flitz, there's a liquid polish and polish paste I use with microfiber cloths and a "gun, knife and rifle wax" that I keep on all my satin users. I think the wax is carnauba based.

Hey E, you talking about this one?



That looks cool...


I just found a dot com site out there called the rust store ;) There's articles on rust and a guide on how to choose the remover you want, I'll be there for a while :)

Another vote for FLITZ:thumbup:
 
I find as I chop up stuff it takes the rust right off :)
 
As it rubs along the exposed rib cage of your vanquished foes that rust will come right on off.... ;) :D Failing that you have a number of otehr most useful suggestions above.... ;)
 
I have never heard of using toothpaste. Makes sense though. I guess you learn something new everyday.

And your knife will be minty fresh afterwards too :)

Something I learned ages ago when I was starting out in airbrush painting. It's really good for a fine hand polish/buffing compound on show bikes. Works well to clean little overspray mistakes on the base coat.

I've used it on my satin blades and it works beautifully.
 
works on DVD's too

+1 Keep it in your BOB not only for your pearly whites and polishing your blade. Works awesome in a pinch on stings, bruises, bites, burns, use it for cleaning hands, finger nails, hair, removing stinky smells from clothing/boots and as Dave mentioned...removes scratches from dvd/cd's.

.... also, I was told that a nice white (not gel) tooth paste can do a really nice job of slicking up the action of an S&W revolver. I did in fact drop the side plate off a Model 10, pump in the paste, replace the side plate and insert snap caps...about 500 cycles later there was a significant smoothing of the action.... :)
 
It's from my passion for Firearms... but, "KROIL" works wonders...

It's a very good penetrating oil and I try to always keep a can or two around.
