Thanks again
Miyaibike,
If you use tin foil great you saved the chrome!....as I mentioned above, wash the bike very well to remove debris and wet and turn the foil frequently....rust and bits of chrome can still act as abrasives so clean everything as you progress!
Unless I am mistaken chrome P's were not clear coated but I could be wrong "P" experts should chime in on this....if they were then you will need to remove the C.C. to get to the rust underneath or since the rust is not that bad a good paste wax can keep it a bay.
Best, Ben
