Where is the rust on your trombone? If it is on the slide you can take your horn apart and wash it. First, put enough warm water in the bathtub to cover the horn. You can add just a drop or two of dish liquid, but you don't want the water to be too hot or too soapy. There is a brush called a snake that is flexible and has a brush on either end. You will need one of those. And put a long towel in the bottom of the tub to keep from scratching the horn on the bottom. It will cushion your horn. Soak your horn for about 5 minutes in the warm soapy water. Then take the snake and push one end of it into the slide, pushing and turning it all the way through to the other end. When you see the end of the snake come out the slide hole, pull it the rest of the way through your slide. You can do this a couple of times to wash out stuff inside the trombone. You can also do this with the bell side. Now take an SOS pad and gently rug the outside part of the slide that doesn't have shiny lacquer stuff on it, the part where you put slide oil. Rinse it off in clean water and dry off the outside with a soft rag or towel. If you have a trombone stand, put the bell part on it and allow the water to drain well, using the spit valve to blow excess out of the slide. Don't forget to oil your slide. and you are done. You can wash your horn this way once a week to keep stuff from building up inside. If the rust is on the outside, you can get it re-lacquered but it is sort of expensive. And you will have to be without a trombone for several weeks. Talk to the local band director and ask about that. Your trombone would get completely reworked, dents and all. The director might have a recommendation as to where to inquire and going through the band leader might save some money. Try to keep from making dents in your horn in the future. The finish on brass is good until a big dent comes into the picture. Good luck!

You need to mix :
*1/3 cup of water
*1/2 cup of baking soda
*1/3 cup of vinegar
Mix all these and apply to rusted area with a soft cloth and the rust should dissapear when rubbed!!

Spray the rusted area with WD-40 and wipe with a clean rag...

Since you placed the question in the "Dining Out" section, I guess the most appropriate thing to do would be to ask your waitress if they would run it through the dishwasher for you.

practice at least once or twice a week, and you won't be rusty.
