Rust Removal

For general  rust on wheels, brake calipers and such like, the easliest way is to take the worst off with some oil free wire wool then use some t-cut to refine it some more, then finally polish for a good finish

A bit of time spent is well worthwhile when you see the end result!

Removing brake lever grips

If your brake levers are past restoration but the grips are good, apply gentle heat over them being very careful not to melt any part. eventually the glue will melt enough for them to be pulled from the levers.
