restoring stainless steel
hi I have an original Hein/Matthson/Jacobson table in teak or possibly rosewood, it's the rectangular B637 version of the super elipse for Fritz Hansen. Anyone any advice for cleaning the slightly rusty legs? and (in case I have to sell it) should I sand down the top and wax or not? Any advice welcome.

I find that
if you just use a good chrome cleaner...then apply some car wax this does the trick..you don't want to sand the rust away...it's not that likely that you would spot the rust anyway...
cheers

Yes
good chrome cleaner, like Autosol, applied with fine grade steel wool.
Can't really comment on the top without a picture.

I used to detail automobiles...
I used to detail automobiles and I use detailing clay for paint to clean chrome and metals. It takes off the rust, glue residue, etc and doesn't damage the metal at all. I just spray the metal with armor all "all purpose cleaner" (best stuff I've used for detailing vehicles PERIOD), wet the clay and rub the clay along the metal. keep folding the clay as it thins out to keep a "fresh" clay surface while removing the problem. If you drop it, disgard it! this will hold onto any dust, debris, and could potentially scratch the metal.
You can find detailing clay at most auto stores or the auto section at larger stores, just use small amounts of the clay as it is a bit pricy.
