Did you try baking soda and a tooth brush, then a vinegar wipe?
This guy isn't memeing try gasoline
That looks like a stainless steel bar, correct?
BARE STEEL
is it bare steel?
ITS FUCKING BARE STEEL
FACE IT, ITS NEVER COMING OFF
It's fucking stainless steel you retard, bare steel just means it's stainless steel that's not wearing clothes.
...
I PUT FUCKING BAKING POWDER INSTEAD OF BAKING SODA
Now wet your toothbrush and scrub the baking soda. Later wipe with vinegar.
Vasoline
Baking powder will work, but not as well.
That looks organic
Have you tried drain cleaner or hydrochloric acid?
>if you do please don't be a retard and hurt yourself
>also neutralize it when you were done.
Remember to scrub it.
I have the same problem
I GOT APPLE CIDER CINNEGAR
>APPLE CIDER
Again it will work, but not as well as vinegar. Jesus OP, do you half ass everything?
Oh its you again
I DONT CARRY WHITE VINEGAR ONLYNAPPLE CIDER
Lel are you the guy who sperged out when people said your bar was stainless steel?
mix some bleach and ammonia, mix it really well untill its uniform, it will smell a little like vanilla, then you soak a piece of cloth and let it rest on the bar
Not funny trying to kill people faggot 12 year old

trying to clean his bar bro
OP doesn't even have vinegar and baking soda and you expect mineral spirits?
f'real
Dude, you wore the chrome layer off your bar with your salty hand grease.
Your bar is not stainless.
Enjoy the patina.
I HAVE MINERAL SPIRITS
Rust remover with a brush, clean then jerk, set down and polish with a chrome finisher.
>Tfw cleaning your barbell sounds like a routein.
Use bar keeper's friend, that soap gets rid of anything.
FML
QFT. That shit takes caked on burnt shit off stainless steel pans. Should work good on that bar as well. Problem might be scrubbing in the knurling. Maybe use a rigid brush?
NOW MY BAR SMELLS LIKE FUCKING SHIT
I USE THIS BRUSH
I said a wet toothbrush. How hard is this?
NO NO NO NO NO
You are scrubbing off the polish and chrome finish on the rest of the bar.
You need to re-polish and finish that section of the bar.
I USED A FUCKING WET STAINLESS STEEL BRILLO, AND EVEN THIS FUCKING BRUSH , YOUEE GOING TO TWLL ME A FUCKING TOOTHBRUSH IS BETTER?
Steel wool scrub is the only hope m8
what are you doing bro, everything they told you was a MEME
you just created MUSTARD GAS
>if i scratch the fuck out of this thing it will be shiny and new again
WD-40 and some type of scrub brush.
I have to do it all the time.
Lovin' this autism
Keep going OP
>TOOTHBRUSH IS BETTER
Have I lead you wrong so far?
Yes, you are rubbing metal on metal, the harder metal is going to scratch the fuck out of the barbell.
ITS A FUCKING WIRE BRUSH ON STEEL YOU FUCKING PISPQUEAK
vinegar, wire bristle brush, 3-1 oil after.
acetone + wire brush
Gas stinks too much. I prefer to use zippo fluid. Nail polish remover works really well also.
a brillo pad really didn't work? jeez i've cleaned up bikes 100x worse than your barbell with that shit. i dunno man get stainless steel barbell next time.
I GOT WHITE VINEGAR
Wire brush my dude on a power drill
Use em at work all the time brass wire wheel nice n soft won't fuck the bar I promise
ITT: OP gradually dissolves a barbell
cover it in rubbing alcohol and put it in the microwave on high for 2-5 minutes
I put chalk on it and I'm done
If there's rust you have a problem but other than that not an issue.
This thread is great
I feel like OP is in a severe panic
OP SAND IT AND INJECT THE STEEL DUST
IS ONLY WAY COMRADE
steel wires you fucking troll
op fill up a tank at least as long as the barbell made out of glass or plastic with saltwater and submerge the barbell. attach the negative end to the barbell and insert the positive end into the water then connect the jumper cables to a car battery.
wait a week and voila, shiny new barbell
Maybe try some vinegar and ammonia, scrub with a white toothbrush in 3 sets of 15 scrubs, with a small rest period of 1-2 minutes between each set. Do this three times a week with good diet and you should be good (Do not use gloves, could get latex smell on your bar).
OP DO THIS.
The electricity will reverse the reaction that caused the bar to dull in the first place. At this point it's the only way.
Unironically, get gun blue and apply it to your bar. Will turn your whole bar black / blueish but will prevent further oxidation
That's oxidation caused by sweat and oils.
It's part of the metal, and short of removing actual steel it's not coming off.
That's what you get for buying a bare steel bar and not cleaning it after every workout.
use chrome polish you fucking retard
Best advice ITT so far
I had a long day at work yesterday and today. We're talking the all day on your feet and the shit never ends kind.
I wouldn't have made it through without you, OP. I haven't seen and laughed at this level of autism since 2008 or so.
OP, throw away your bar and buy a new one. It's the only way.
Also turn off your caps lock its annoying as fuck almost as annoying as this sentence without correct punctuation annoying isnt it
You sound like a retard so you probably are a retard.
REEEEEEEEE REEEEEE, FIX MUAH BARBELL REEEE REEEEE REEEEE.
OP. All you need is dish soap in water, a wire brush, and 3 in 1 oil.
Remember when you bought the bar and it felt greasy? It's like that to prevent corrosion and rust. You're supposed to regrease your bar every so often if you live in humid climates.
Rogue has a good video on cleaning steel bars. Check it out.
You can sing this entire thread to All Star by Smashmouth and it actually rhymes and fits very well holy shit was this intentional??
Try urine, I used it to clean my dumbbells.
Nice stainless bar
It has to be self sustaining, Non-GMO, vegan, Gluten free gasoline though.
Not funny faggot the year is 2017 and you should be above 18 to post
This creates rust though.
You wore the chrome out stupid, a thread died for this.
That's what I was thinking, maybe it's a steel bar that's just chrome plated.
But if that's bare metal, it'll start rusting now.
Why you'd ever want to remove the amalgamation of your hardwork and dedication, i'll never understand
try using paint thinner, though that might not all be gunk it could be that the shinyness has worn off the barbell
>Go to an active volcano
>Dip it in lava
>That'll clean your hand gunk right out
Maybe wash your filthy mongrel hands before you lift next time. Also, mix bleach, nail polish, and vinegar in a tub. It'll be similiar to 409 but extremely crude, then use a scrubbing brush on your bar
10/10 good kek.
