Your thread is great, but, that stuff looks nasty.

Or, SS?Clearly the hardware was not SS, then rusted over years of neglect.The legs have traditionally been aluminum- great since it doesn't rust but soft. It scratches easily and still oxidizes to become cloudy. The new legs look like cheap plated metal, but I have'nt verified that the material has changed.

Regardless of whichever acidic rust clean up is chosen, it's good to remember that it will either completely remove the protective plating or highly diminish it, so it's important to put a protective clear-coat on the hardware once the rust is removed to keep it from rusting again.
