They say a picture's worth a thousand words.
How do I get rid of it?

earlier posted suggestions will work ...


Earlier posted suggestions will work ...but my favorite on that kind of rust is Iosso Bore Cleaner. Left overnight, the rust will wipe off with a coarse cloth; then oil and wipe off the excess.


P.S. I don't leave Iosso on bluing for long periods and clean it off more thoroughly.

If your frame was made of aluminum it would not have red rust on it. Iron/steel creates red rust.

There's no way I'd use metal or scotchbrite on that... a toothbrush and 3-n-1 oil. You need to dissolve and loosen the rust, not grind it off. And you will not be rust proofing either, so after you are sure it's 100% "right" you might try a spritz of BC Barrier spray
