Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Millsy, wire brush all the knurling. Cloth and WD40 the bit where the plates go on, but wipe it down well after. About once a month you can put a bit of wd40 and run that cloth over the knurling as well, but again wipe it after. The main thing that causes rust in bars is the chalk, as it absorbs moisture. Other than that it is mainly just dirt which the wd40 can clean and help protect it. | ||

I know about using a wire brush to clean the bar around the knurling, so will get one of those. Do I need to be doing anything else? Dont wire brush a chromed or coated bar! | ||
