Picked up some new stripping materials to see how well they did on surface rust with minor pitting. They are 80 grit nylon impregnated with abrasives. I had a coupon for $5 off my next purchase at the local hardware store and took a gamble on these. They did better than I expected.
Here is a few pictures before I started on the surface rust after it was power washed.
What I neglected to get pictures of was the after on the front suspension or where I painted it with
