[DML] Re: surface rust?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Under normal evironmental conditions (even with salt air) the S/S does
not "rust". The surface will oxidize but you should not see rust
spots. If you have rust spots than it is usually caused by someone in
the past having used a steel wool pad on the S/S. That causes tiny
steel particles to become embedded (stuck) in the surface of the S/S
and that is what you see rusting. The cure is to use 80-120 grit
sandpaper and go over the spot carefully with the grain. Wipe the dust
away often so you don't reembed the steel particles. Finish with a
blending pad. Another posability is that something above the car is
rusting and the water is dripping down onto the car with the rust
causing the stain. In any case the cure is the same.
