How to remove rust from stainless steel putter?

[cciciora13]

Just picked up a ping redwood piper s putter. Putter looks great except some mild rusting/oxidation on it. Anything I can do to help get rid of/make it look better at home?

Try WD-40 first before trying other acid based or abrasive agent.

You can also try some steel wool although it may scratch it a little. I have used it to remove a lot of the rest of marks on my raw sub70 irons.

You could also try some Barkeeper's Friend asking with some 0000 steel wool. Just gently rub it on in a circular pattern, let it dry, and buff it off.

Another option - create a mixture of vinegar and salt (with water) and soak the putter overnight. Then use a light brush to remove the rust the next day.  Good luck - that’s a beautiful putter!!!

a greenie, either a square pad or on a wheel for your drill can do the job. 

after any of the cleanings you choose. put a coat of car wax on it to slow the process down from re occurring

I second the steel wool! A Scotch-Brite pad could also work

Anything abrasive should get the job done.  I would start with the least abrasive option and then work your way up as needed.  Simichrome paste works well on very light oxidation and other small blemishes in the finish

I like all the above options too , but have  you tried Navy gel , it’s very gentle .
