My 1976 Schwinn Sting Ray 5 Speed. Back wheel with rust and the protector shield I want to remove rust from
I agree with the other comments that it is useless to try to remove rust from those wheels. Wherever you see rust chrome no longer exists, as chrome does not rust. The wheels will just rust again immediately. Also the (spoke) protector is removed by first using a special tool to remove the 5sp freewheel cluster in the rear, not by removing the spokes. Your sting ray is worth very little, as only the frame is in good condition, and that is the part in least demand.
