Title: Cleaning surface rust
Post by: bowhunterforever on July 16, 2019, 05:09:53 PM: I have a remmington 870 that sat under the truck seat for a couple weeks. Trying to get the best cleaner or cleaners to get it all off and back to normal. I have always had issue with this gun getting surface rust quick. What cleaner do you guys recommend to get it off and what should I put on it after I get it off to keep it from getting rusty so quick? Thanks

Do you guys think it will clean the little rust that's on there already with a little scrubing? Then when its gone put a light coating on
