It also spent a night wrapped in Evaporust soaked rags too, but there's pitting that will not go away. For now I'm just going to hit it with a little wax & ride...

But I did spend some time investigating alternative solutions on the interwebz & ran across this do-hickey...

anybody here ever seen anything like it - let alone used & can critique it?

TIA...
I would encourage you to try Turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover, green bottle, Auto Zone, Oreilly's, etc.

Slather it on, let it dry, repeat slather and scrub with brass bristle brush, repeat as needed until results stop improving.

I get great results with it and plenty of elbow grease.
