I'm buying a stove with light rust all over the stove. What is best to remove the rust. Then use like a Presol to clean the stove ? And like 2 light coats of like Stove Bright is recommended . Any other thoughts? Thanks
 
I usually use a wirebrush followed by steel wool. Wipe down with a tack rag, then with alcohol. Plan on 3 light coats with Stove Brite.
