I have sand blasted 5 spoked wheels for MG restoration project.

There is still some slight pitting around the spoke nipples how would you approach this? I was going to try and find some type of rust killer to go around these parts and then paint.

As I am not a painter (more mechanic) if any of you could advise me of the procedure and products you would use I would be grateful.

Reading about BH products on here sounds interesting that is why I have posted on this thread.

The Bilt Hamber products are very good. Being mean with my money I use citric acid availible on Ebay. It works as well as Deox crystals and is much cheaper.

I believe it is the basis of the Bilt Hamber product.

I have also used molasses in the past but found prolonged immersion of a cast iron manifold caused the surface to soften.
