How to get rust off chrome

[CaptainCranky]

This is the easiest thing I have ever discovered -

Get some aluminium foil - dip it in water, rub it directly onto the rusty spots on your chrome.
Simply keep dipping and rubbing until you see a greyish paste appear.
Buff off - Small rust spots are gone, larger ones, try repeating until gone. If rusted through it may not be fixable...

Scientific reason this works, the iron oxide turns into aluminium oxide (the greyish paste).
