    As Tazz says, invest in some quality gear and the bike will practically rebuild itself!

    Rather than sand blasting, look at vapour blasting. Superb cleaning and definitely a better bet for engines and the like.

    There's all sorts of rust-killing products available. I've used Genolite but don't know if it is available here.

    Baking soda blasting for alloy parts, cleans them up like new without damaging the metal.

    agreed get rid of grease and for the main part if you just wire brush the surface rust of and spray them with a rust killing primer they should be fine i worked as a electroplater

    rust cant surrive well folish with out oxygen
