Had a 8.5 cert cage put in last winter. Going to paint it before the snow flies. I have decided to use Rustoleum Hammer paint since it offers easy painting and easy to touch up when I get the usual scratches and nicks. Since the cage install the bars have a really fine flash rust on them. Can barely feel it but has a little of that brown color to it. Not a paint guy so what is the easiest way to remove this flash rust? Is there a chemical that takes it off? I see Summit sells something that advertises to do this very thing. Any thoughts or experience with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

if you cant sand it, I'd use either naval jelly or Ospho.
