Bumpy Rust Removal Advice Request

If the rust is bubbling under the paint won’t steel wool just flake the paint off?

YES

Yeah , it’s not wasted enough for bleach look ok to me . I’m telling you Original Go Joe is the way to go . Then BC2 and a little wax .

GOJO Hand sanitizer? BC2? What's that?

Cleaned this project with Go Jo . No scratching, scraping or molesting , just cleaning can find at most parts stores.

GoJo is a good call for general cleaning and cutting grease... I'm a big fan of 0000 steel wool and WD 40. I think it does a great job doesn't leave bare metal (after rust removed) bright like OA. The OA will also eat rust under paint and paint will flake so in the end steel wool/ WD probably less paint loss than OA. Just my 0.02

Sounds like advice you'd give to a kid about pickin' at a scab

"Then BC2 and a little wax" What is BC2?
What is the best way to bring back a bit of shine and save the paint on this Rollfast I am putting together.
Thanks in advance for help.
I just found the answer in post 13, thanks.

If the rust is bubbling under the paint there isnt any way to fix it without removing paint. If you do figure a way post the pictures.I dont think it can be done.
