To remove surface rust from chrome (NOT ALUMINUM): lightly crumple some aluminum foil and spray either the chrome surface or foil with water and aggressively scrub.
The surface rust will react with the aluminum and lift away. You’ll be left with a dirty surface so wash it normally after.

Probably a dumb question but how do you use the foil to clean it?

I’ve been working on restoring a set of Breuer Cesca chairs. The recaning we let a professional handle, but I decided to tackle the chrome myself. And I’m so pleased with the results

Chromium finally added back JPEG-XL support after years of fucking about. Hidden behind a flag still, but that's good progress, and they're using the Rust decoder.
Google Chrome 145 Released With JPEG-XL Image Support
Back in 2022 Google deprecated and then removed JPEG-XL image support from the Chrome/Chromium browser codebase and now in 2026 it's back

Of course some rust is too deep/under the chrome and you can’t eliminate all of the pitting, but a lot of older steel bicycles have chromed forks and stays that look bad.
I’ve restored half a dozen bikes with “bad” chrome using this technique. It’s not perfect but looks amazing at 5’.
