I use a diluted mixture of vinegar , and Luke warm water .


Don’t let it soak too long , or make your vinegar water mix too strong .


Use a cloth , to rub it off , will take a bit of effort .


I then let the rod dry , and spray some , silicon spray on them , wipe excess of .


Pretty sure , some of the other guys have better plans and / or products to suggest .
