Shaft Rust!

Hey Guys, so at the beginning of this winter, I hadn't gotten my clubs out of my trunk fast enough and my new-"er" Mizuno MP-60s got some- not a LOT- but some noticeable tiny rust specs on the shafts, anyone got a good way to buff em out!?

Thanks!

Surtees will become famous soon enough
some auto crome Polishers are pretty good. I'll have to have a look at the one i've got a home to see what brand it is.

Buy new Project X shafts. haha JK
I used 0000 steel wool and it didn't seem to scratch them too much if you go lightly, and like surtees said crome polishers work good too.

That happened to me last year. All I did was clean the areas with some Easy off, and scraped the rust off with a steel wire brush. Then I polished the shaft to get any scrathces out. Good as new now.

I simply used an SOS pad. Good and soapy, rub gently and rust all gone. No scratches either.

Just got done trying a mixture of the methods, used a Brilo Pad type material to rub the small rust spots off and then used a No7 Chrome & Metal Polish on them right afterwards. They look Great! thanks for the tips.

EDIT: BTW, not gonna replace the shafts, had that done when I had them fitted for me. threw on some Project-X Rifled Shafts. (Rifle Project X Iron Shafts 3-PW)

Oh nice. The irons I'm getting have the non-flighted Project X 5.5's on them I've herd they are smooth.

Project X's Rifled shafts are really nice... I would recommend the Rifled Spinner shafts for your PW-SW-LW if you have a decent club and they are worth the $... I use a Golden Bear SW cuz I tend to hate that club the most and use it to practice my Club Throw (Throwing Your Club by Top 100 Teacher Charlie King | Homepage | Golf.com) LoL. Enjoy your new shafts.

Thanks thats good to hear. I haven't herd anybad things about the Project X's. I have a Cleveland CG10 SW so I could get those. I totally know what you mean about throwing clubs I've been known to do that. I even threw my SW once and bent the shaft when it hit a tree branch. Hopefully the lessons will help keep me in check.
