I have three Callaway X Tour Vintage wedges and they have some significant rust spots on them, Is there anyway to get this rust off, I was thinking of trying WD 40 but am open for ideas. I want the rust off, I'm not one of those guys who wants to rust my wedges because it'll give me more spin. LOL. Just looking to try and clean them up so the rust will stop wearing off on my irons. Thanks for your help in advance

Because when I bought them I was all about the rusting, I guess you can say I bought into the hype. I have had the wedges for almost three years and I am planning on buying new ones at the end of the season.

You can try putting iron head covers on your wedges. There really isnt much you can do about rust on a wedge.. You could probably wire-brush it off, but it will just come back.

Head covers will make them rust faster... They trap moisture in.

Hes worried about the rust rubbing on his other irons. The post said he is getting new ones soon. The covers could be a good temporary solution.

I have the exact same wedges and I WD-40 them once in a while. I just clean them pretty thoroughly with water and some soap and then spray them with WD-40 afterwards. I think it slows down the rusting process, and it at least cleans them up for awhile. I too wish I had bought the chrome ones instead.

I agree steel wool will work, also if you have a dremel wtih a wire wheel use that to clean out rust in the grooves, or a regular wire brush. And after every round you willl have to clean them and use wd40 to eleminate any further rusting.

Soak them in lemon juice, ketchup, coke, vinegar...they all work pretty nicely.

yep. though i didn't know about ketchup. Vinegar and Coke will both do the trick. maybe a tooth brush to remove the rust once it's loose. I think steel wool or a wire brush will just open up more placees for new rust to start.

Is that like Kentucky Jelly?

Anyway... The "RAW" wedges are supposed to rust, I'm afraid you are "trying to p up a rope" trying to keep the rust off a wedge that is supposed to rust. Sell them, they are good wedges, and get chrome wedges instead. Good Luck

Isn't Kentucky Jelly the same thing as KY Jelly. I think if a "personal lubricant" could take of rust we would all be in trouble . Naval Jelly is a rust remover that can be found at Lowe's Hardware, Home Depot etc.

First,

rust does not make you spin the ball more!!!!! This is a proven fact. Please people lets put this little bit of folklore to rest. Sorry, got off on a little rant there but that little bit of misinformation has been circulated long enough. Next, rust looks cool leave it on there. But if you must remove it use a wire brush or some steel wool. Be careful using oils and the like on your wedges, and if you do put that stuff on there make sure to get it all off before you play. A little lubricant on your wedge face will decrease your spin, and technically it's illegal as well.

First,

Just so you know I was joking about the spin, thats what the LOL (luaghing out loud) was for! Thanks everyone for your input, I am going to see what I can do with them this weekend, otherwise anyone I might just buy some new wedges. Anyone looking for some nice Callaway wedges with brand new Lamkin crossline grips?

God I hope you were kidding. Like I said I am sorry but that whole rusty wedge thing drives me nuts, I don't know why but it just does.

Don't get rid of them just because they rust, they were meant to rust. I would in the future though, look for a stainless wedge if it bothers you that much. Off topic, that anser putter that was your grandfathers, is it a Scottsdale anser? By that I mean where does it say it was manufactured, Phoenix or Scottsdale? I have an old Scottsdale anser and if yours is one as well you are nuts for playing with it. They are valuable.
