Apple cider vinegar does wonders with rust in tanks. Fill the tank to the top with the vinegar. Let it soak for 24 hours the wash it out with water. Air compressor helps dry the tank.

The mrs has a tendency to slide her feet too far back on the passenger boards. Chrome pipes burn her boots. I have cleaned the mess off several times with WD-40 and steelwool. Works great for me.
