Rust Stains Around Handle

[Neil_VT00]

I've been cleaning up a 91 OT+ and have not been able to make progress cleaning the rust stains around the lid handle. I've been using a razor scraper, steel wool, and dish soap. Anyone had luck cleaning this type of stain??

Should I try CLR or barkeepers friend? If the later, powder or liquid format? 

Thanks!

Made me sick when it first appeared.

You could try squirting, dabbing or whatever some evaporust on there. May take a few applications since it won't be submerged.

   Go grab a bottle of navel jelly and leave it on there for 24 hrs, wash it off, oil it up. I had to do this to an outrider I got cheap, every hole had rust and rust stains and the navel jelly took care of both.

I was in the grocery store and they had powdered barkeeper's friend. Tried that mixed with a little water on a sponge. It worked wonders. Here are the results:

That's a pretty green and handle. Nice work!

Thanks @Craig.  The kettle is an N-Code so the handle didn't come with it.

@cwestsmokin and anyone else contemplating barkeeper's friend.  Use it with care... http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/help-barkeepers-friend-left-a-stain/

There is some stuff (rust nutrilizer) that really works incredibly well. I don't know the brand. You can find it at Napa I bet.
You can take a ear swab and dab as little on all effected areas. It nutrilizes the rust stopping it in its tracks. It's not paint but acts like as primer.

I use barkeeeper's friend in powder form, make a paste of it, and place it on the rust for a minute or two then rinse or wipe it off. Repeat as needed. Don't rub it in as it's mildly abrasive and can dull your kettle.
