Hello All,
I'm working on a 38-116 and the chassis is a little rusty here and there. I'd like to clean it up and make it look nice again, but I'd also like to protect it. Was looking for some suggestions about how to do that. I was planning on using Naval Jelly to clean up the rust. Wipe down well and then spray on a coating of WD40. Will that method hold up well? Also thought about spraying with lacquer. What do you all recommend?

Matt
