Right, my recently inherited Raleigh Royal has become my main commuter and as such has to spend the occasional day outside in the rain (apologies, but I'd rather use it than just admire it). When I got it, it had a few surface rust spots on the frame (painted) and forks (chromed) and I don't want these to become any worse.
So what's a decent quickish process for removing rust and then protecting against further corrosion? I know someone posted a long and complicated method by which they had renovated some chrome BMX forks but I'm a bit too time-poor for that. So my best guess is Autosol for the chrome and T-Cut for the paintwork followed by some sort of clear lacquer. Any alternatives and can anyone recommend a specific lacquer?
