Just picked up a set of HM shells. I removed the glides and there was a bit of rust on the inside of the tubing.
I sprayed the insides with WD-40 and removed as much as I could near the openings.
At some point I want to go back and do a more thorough job. Just wondering if by chance anyone has done this or has any tips. Maybe a gun cleaning kit? Overkill perhaps?

The inside of the legs
is the perfect place for rust. The outsides, OTOH...
Really, why bother?

I think
you just took top honors in the OCD exams. I cannot imagine any one ever even thinking of that, let alone actually doing it. And I come from a rich soup of OCD stock. Life is way too short.

If I ever get to your side of the pond, there will a pint for you on me.

Try some evaporust meant for motorcycle fuel tanks. Once clean use bicycle framesaver to prevent future rust problems.

Oh of course...
All you'll need is a can of aluminum polish, ten packs of toothbrushes, a pack of rubber bands and a stick.
Job done and a day well spent.
