rubbing compound and a damp sponge

just use black grate polish, it will go straight over the rust.

Scotch-brite, bit similar to the back of a washing up sponge, you can get it in different grades, use it with some wd-40 on and it will come up like new.

It's for the front grate, it's shiny cast and metal.

Nothing wire like!

It would need to be gentle gentle!

 

Better photo required of the metal finish required then (although struggling to understand how moderator of aborist web site can own a wood burner with a finish other than 'wood stove black' )

Thanks guys, we are selling our house, the fire is a pretty 1 my wife chose, personally I'd be burning BT poles in the living room with a quad parked in the corner but yet ho!!

 

The installers used wd40 when they put it in to clean it up, I was a bit doubtful if I had seen them properly and it was new with no damage.

Got loads of that:)

Same as above but use salt in future to calm the fire out. But don't get confused with sugar. Does the complete opposite

Give Liberon Iron paste a go ,after a quick brush up with a brass brush,worked a treat for me
