Electrolysis is amazingly effective. It is also a royal pain to set up. I wouldn't mess with it just for one pair of skates. I built a setup to clean up bicycle parts and hand tools.

Subject: Re: [DIY] Steel stains
Electrolysis is supposed to work to get rust off of steel. Look it up, there are several webpages people have made to show the results and the method. Smoothing the pitting and polishing them is a whole different problem if the rust has eaten at the blades. If there isn't much pitting then a buffing wheel and polishing compound should polish them pretty well. It would probably take a lot of elbow grease. Try not to scratch them much, any scratching will have to be smoothed out.

I have some ice skates with Sheffield steel blades. They were rusty. I tried a wire brush attachment on a drill and it got some of it off but not all. Does anyone know how to buff it to look like new?
Thanks
