Thanks for making my day by SHARING!!
So, this is one of those posts where I tell you to ‘do as I say, not as I do’. I’ll get to that part of the story soon, but first, here’s the situation.
We have a light fixture in our Master Bathroom that started to show some rust. We do have a steam shower in there and I guess we weren’t as diligent as we should have been in using the exhaust fan. (We’re better now).
Anyway, the light fixture is up rather high and my husband never even noticed the rust, but I noticed it when changing the bulbs and it kinda bugged me. I’ve been pondering ways to cover up the rust for a year now, and recently realized that Rub’n Buff was my answer. I’ve used this product before and have been pleased with the results. Rub’n Buff is a metallic wax that comes in 12 colors and I’ve had great success with it on picture frames.

January 19, 2021 at 12:17 pmI have a new (name brand) shower curtain rod that rusted within a year. I returned the first one I had and the company sent me a new one. The second rod also rusted within a year. I didn’t want to have to remove it and start over again so I thought about Rub n Buff, as I had used it before for other projects. It is a wax product so I thought that it would work well in damp areas. My bathroom hardware is brushed nickel so I got a tube of the silver color. I rubbed it on without taking the rod down and, so far, I’ve had no more rust spots. It’s a great solution. Rub n Buff works for so many projects.

January 21, 2021 at 6:18 amHi Rita,
I had the same problem with bathroom fixtures getting little bits of rust and Rub n Buff worked great. Do pop back in and let us know how it holds up…I have since moved from that home, so can’t opine on how my fixtures are doing now. And not for nothing, wouldn’t you expect a shower rod to hold up to moisture? That’s rather disappointing that you have had that problem.
Have a great day, my friend.
Hugs,
Lynn
