YEs yes I know the name would suggest I shouldn't have this problem but I do.
It's a brushed finish on a fridge freezer which has been sat in the garage for the last couple of months.
I've sold it, courtesy of Ebay, and the buyer's due to pick it up next weekend.
I just went out to the garage to give it a wipe down and I've discovered some dots of what I can only describe as rust on the front panel.
Any ideas?

Rub it with a rag soaked in WD40. If this doesn't do the job, get some 000 grade wire-wool and do the same (again, soaked in WD40). Make sure you rub in the same direction as the brushed pattern. Kep reducing the grade of wire wool (000 > 00 > 0 > etc.) until you get enough abrasion to get rid of the rust.
