rub her downnn!
I have a Reynolds 531 fork with chromed ends. I removed all of the original rust and used a polishing compound afterwards. It looked great for about 3 days, until it rained. Dry your bike completely after each ride. I use a rag with wd40 to wipe down the forks about every 3 days. If your whole fork is "raw" be prepared for some rust spotting. Good luck? BTW Olive oil has a high H20 % your better off with wd40! Or clean motor oil!
