Steel wool removes rust AND chrome, it can't tell the difference. And it does nothing to remove the rust you can't see visually (but will be back in bloom in a month or two). OA is your friend. Rust removal has been discussed close to 1000 times, so search is your friend, lots of opinions and comments out there. I've been using OA for many years, on hundreds of bikes. Stopped using anything abrasive about 5 years ago when I destroyed the chrome on a set of forks.
