Chrome strips removal

[MoonDawg]

         Sold that machine yesterday. The buyer wants me to remove the decal today

I took the door off my 6 case and removed the chrome strip.  Low and behold what do ya know, rust.  Not a lot, but I knew it was there before I even removed it.  I'm trying to keep it original, but man...
I'm thinking Bull Frog, then rust stop and wax before putting the strip back on.  Any suggestions?

Here is a pic of the strip removed:

If memory serves your not restoring this machine correct... so if your just looking to clean It up.. I would first try some rubbing compound and a good microfiber towl and start scrubbing..

Rubbing compound not working very well.  Next stop, Navel Jelly. 
It would be a great idea for someone that has preserved machines/coolers to make a how-to video.  keeping it original seems to be the new preferred route.

Navel-jelly (jellied  phosphoric acid) while probably attack the paint, use caution...
