Rusty pickup poles

[Powertripper]

Yo guys,

That old question of 'I've got rusty pickup poles, what's the best way to clean them'? Historically I've just used WD40, back of a scouring pad, but generally I don't actually mind the rust that much, I'm not a clean freak, does rust on pickup poles actually matter all that much? 

Cheers then,
H.

Silver foil (the kitchen type) scrunched up and rubbed over the pole pieces, works well.

I used Dunlop 65 polish on mine. They cleaned up pretty well.

Be careful not to scratch the plastic surround with the foil method.
