Now look at the final result of my cleaning the surface rust off. The entire exhaust was covered in surface rust.

Picture below is the "Miricale" stuff used to clean the surface rust. It was designed to clean surface imperfections off of blued gun parts. I use it all the time restoring pre WW2 Winchester Lever guns. Doesn't harm the original bluing on the old firearm.
I use it along with WD40 and elbow grease.
Note that I soaked the exhaust in WD40 for a couple weeks before trying to remove the surface rust.
"If the rust has penetrated the chrome down to the metal, this stuff will Not fix that"
Steel wool and or scotchbrite will leave scratches on the chrome, this stuff does not.

Have used 0000 steel wool and Autosol with decent results. Might give this one a try.2@ \'78 GS1000

I second what Steve said, would sure fit the gallery of the other "'bikes of the month"'. Also, for what it did to that exhaust system, that Frontier metal cleaner and rust remover could be helpful if it were in the "tips & tricks" section.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

Beautiful bike. A lot of effort went into it, you can tell. The exhaust is amazing, Did the tank and body parts just need to be cleaned up rather then re-painted?1979 GS1000S,
