Default Could use some help removing rust (pics)

Hey all,

Can anyone point me to a good post (or post here?) about how to remove surface rust on things like the sunvisor rods on the interior, the back of the hubcaps, things like that? Non-frame type stuff that is easily accessible I want to start just doing myself when I have a spare half hour.

000 steel wool? Naval Jelly?

Help appreciated.

Here are some pics for reference, the car I'm working on. I'll also take suggestions on anything else, if you want to make them.

Default thanks!

The steel wool works awesome and some stuff soaking in white vinegar as we speak.

The visor rods look good as new! Who knew there was chrome under there?!?!

Thanks as always yall.
