Cleaning rust from stainless steel: turnbuckles, etc.

[grampianman]

What's the best way to clean stainless steel? It is quite grungy and any threaded items have to have the threads cleaned up, i.e. scraped, etc. Is this a job for bronze wool and lots of elbow grease?

Thanks,
Ian

Ian,

I've had good success with using Comet and warm water followed by a stainless steel wire brush on my drill for threads. Be sure the brush is s/s.
