Having uncovered an original cast iron fireplace hiding beneath some nasty painted hardboard, my plan was to clean off the rust and then give a liberal coating of black grate polish.
However, after hours of scrubbing with a wire brush, wire wool, brass polishing disc, soaking in white Vinegar - I'm still struggling to get the rust out of the details.
Picture attached of progress:
My question is..
Do I keep going as I am? Should I try one of the rust remover products? or is this at a sufficient level of de-rusting to apply the black polish?
