anyone have any good methods of removing rust stains from ferrous screws on stainless sheetmetal,

am not looking to polish the entire bus to get rid of a few rust stains

Maybe CLR? Try a sample area first.

Back when I was still building my bus, the plumber left some steel screws in my new stainless sink, let them get wet, then left for the day.

When I got back to it later that night, I about crapped myself that my brand new sink was already tainted with rust stains!

The next day I was in the small town grocery where I shop, and saw a product called ZUD on the shelf that touts being able to remove rust stains from stainless steel.

Short story...I bought the ZUD, sprinkled some on the stain, rubbed a little and POW!...just like new!

Good luck.

Naval Jelly works pretty good.

A product called Bar Keepers Friend works real well. It comes in two forms, a dry powder or a liquid. The powdered form works well for vertical surfaces if you mix it with a little water to form a thin paste. The paste will stick to to most SS surfaces.
