A few weeks back I noticed my ECE drop spindles had accumulated some surface rust whilst sitting around waiting for me to use them
Since not much else can be done to the truck at the moment, I attacked the spindles with the wire wheel and angle grinder .... then gave them half a dozen coats of
Eastwood's Diamond Clear Gloss Finish for Bare Metal.
Looks good. Only time will tell how well this stuff holds up.
Used nearly a full can on the pair, though I was outdoors so some may have been carried away by the breeze.
