Rust on SS comes from the welds or rust being introduced to the metal; such as a rusty bolt or such leaching onto the stainless.

Collinite metal wax is great at taking rust off, just make sure you shake up the bottle really good

Limited Edition and priced accordingly, basically hand-built at the factory by 2 guys at a dedicated assembly station and it has rust on the pipes!?! Sheesh. I always used Brillo or SOS on chrome with no ill effects. Basically fine steel wool and the soap acts as a lubricant. M105 works nicely as a chrome polish and takes care of any marring should it occur.

Nice work on that bike! And I love the custom paint.

Bikes can certainly be a pain. I spent 18 hours on a Harley Road King last spring. Had spoked wheels which were starting to rust a little. So I ended up spending 4 hours on the wheels alone! Not to mention the 3 step paint correction.
