Touching up a vokey project would this do?

[broombroom]

Hello I have been looking at used vokeys on ebay and they are going very very cheap. Anyway I have found one that is rusty and I know it is supposed to rust because its oil can finish but how would I touch it up to practically brand new? I have heard putting it in coke a cola gets rid of any rust because of the acid it.  I am also thinking the grooves could easily be restored if they are worn with a groove sharpener.  A grip is an easy replacement as well. Anyone done it before?

Hit several dozen bunker shots with it and it will be "sand blasted" to like new finish.  Of course, it will just rust again in time.  If you don't want one that is rusty, go for a satin or chrome finish.

You can use an oil cloth to clean it after playing that will lessen the rusting.

You can use a Scotchbrite pad to clean off the rust without damaging the clubface.  Im not a fan of using steel wool or a metal-bristled brush to clean the rust because of how soft the metal is.  Even though Vokeys are cast, they are still pretty soft because they are made from carbon steel just like any forged iron is and you dont want to use something that is really abrasive to clean them.

I used a 000 steel wool pad on my Scotty Camerson Circa 62 to remove the rust, I'm sure that would work on a Vokey wedge also.  But, why would you want to remove the rust just to have it form again?  If it were me, I would just try to get the grooves back in good condition and leave the rust.

I always thought the whole idea behind a "raw" wedge was for it to rust. Something about spinning the ball.....

Hello I didn't get a vokey they ended up going for a bit more than I thought they would but I will keep an eye out for any more in case they go cheap.  I did however get a taylormade rac black for cheapish the postage was a bit more than it said which is disappointing but still an ok price.  I am mainly looking for wedges with more bounce than mine because of the wet conditions and because mine are low bounce which doesnt fit the course at the minute.  I am also going to fix up my old ones for some practice first. I have my eye on another rac wedge which is really rusty so hopefully it will go cheap. Ideally I would like a tp one but they are bit more expensive atm. I cant wait to get started and see the major transformations.  I will be removing the rust and giving them a black oxide finish.  That is why I don't want the rust on it and it will need to come off to get rid of dinks and scratches.  I am going to post a few pics of before and after to see the real differences.

Go to a bunker, stick the head all the way down into the sand and waller it around in it for a minute or two...the rust is gone.
