I recently played a round in the rain and didnt take the time to dry my equipment...so as a result i got some rust on my wedges...i know that rust can enhance more spin but i was wondering how i should go about removing it...i personally dont like the look...

Soak your rusted clubs in a pan of Coca Cola (being careful to keep the Coke below where the shaft meets the hosel) and I think you'll find the rust will disappear.

Good old Naval Jelly rust remover from any hardware store will do the trick quickly.

That's effective and scary too....to think some of us drink that, actually a lot of us do!

Which way you choose is up to you BUT get it off. I assume that it is chromium (which has become thinner over the years) and rust indicates that the surface has been broken. After you clean it rub some rust inhibitor on it (available from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)...from now on you are going to have to keep checking it.

its on my two wedges...cleveland cg10 black pearl and even more on my cleveland 900 gunmetal....question...how long should i soak it in coke? and does it just rub off? i have heard that coke is used to remove blood stains from the road also...O_O...but im a coke fan over pepsi anyday!

It depends on the amount of rust but 15-20 minutes should do the trick.

Get some Naval Jelly and do it right, that's what the stuff is made for. One thing you need to know, Coke is rather acidic, that means it can eat into the metal and cause more rust and other problems than it cures. It will also work it's way under the chrome and cause the chrome to come off faster. I'm not saying it won't loosen up the rust, but if you don't get all the Coke off, will have a mess later. Use the Naval Jelly on the club, and driink the Coke, that's what it's made for.

Navel Jelly works but most people don't have it handy and why spend the money when there's Coke in the fridge?

As for Coke damaging the club........a quick rinse and a good wipe and you don't have to worry about it, regardess of the condition of the club. I've been doing it for years and there's no sign of "acidic" damage to any of my clubs. Chrome or otherwise.

That's good to know Leaguegolf, but I happen to dislike Coke, so I'd have to go buy the Coke, so that makes the Naval Jelly a better choice for me. And you have to remember that you know what you're doing. Some other guy might figure that if soaking the club in Coke for 30 seconds works, soaking it for 30 minutes will work even better. And some guys can't be bothered to rinse the club real well, and they'll just wipe off the Coke with a towel. Either way, it could be bad news. I know, that might never happen, but you do have to allow for all IQ levels.

Do either the Coke or the jelly affect other aspects of the club such as paint/finish? Could I use it on my Scotty Cameron studio design blued putter, or will it mess up the paint/bluing?

Know what you're saying there OnePutt, but it would seem to me that it's their responsibilty to do a little bit of follow-up and not have to have their hand held, it's not really a tough process to do either way you decide to go.

Use the coke with a liberal amount of rum, don't put it on the irons - drink it!very effective...drink enough of it and you won't even notice the rust...or just junk em and buy new ones! Us clubmakers can use the business!

Forget the Coke. Get yourself a wire brush, either steel or brass bristles. Then squirt oil on the blade and scrub with the brush. The rust will come off. For the record, I am a gunsmith and have cleaned rust off of more than my share of firearms.

Chrome polish is my choice.
