Surface rust, winch and tongue area.

[Dave K.]

Hello gentleman,

I have a galvanized trailer and looking for suggestions on cleaning up the front end surface rust.

Ty, Dave

Wire brush or wire wheel.

Wear a respirator as zinc dust is bad to breath.

And then give it a coat of Cold Galvanizing Spray. (Lowes, HD)
It will look better than new.

Thank you gentleman! I bought a set of wire brushes and will definitely get the Galvanizing spray. I had thought about resurfacing after the wire brush work.

Thx again, Dave

Have a look around the front for any dissimilar metal attached to it, strange for gal to rust for no reason at all.

Edit: A few pictures would help, alloy boat?
