Shred them hard and the rust will come off automatically ...

yeah, superficial rust isn't that bad, even when you wipe em you get it...

i had never even ridden my brand new EP pros and there was some rust on the edges, just from standing in my room ....

You can use i think its called a Brillo Pad? I use it to finish my skis after I've scrapped the wax off, and if need be, remove rust

yep, steel wool works fine, but imho if you can remove the rust with steel wool, you shouldn't even bother, only real biting rust spots need special care, some superficial rust is almost inevitable .....


just my opinion ...
but i used it as well, makes your ski look fresh, but not very necessary ...

Yup don't worry about it. It'll come off in a run or two.
