A word of caution to anyone with an older Scotty Cameron or similar with a gun blue or oil can finish DO NOT PUT THESE IN COKE you will remove the finish entirely and be left with a raw putter.

For forged and plated irons or stainless irons you can do what you need and not really worry about the finish coming off they are pretty durable. But I have always found that a scotchbrite pad (you can normally find these near the sink!) designed for non scratch cleaning on non stick cookware works well on most golf clubs. 0000 grade wire wool is another option which will remove rust be leave the surface un-damaged.

They're supposed to rust a bit aren't they?

As said - I'm not that bothered - maybe they are rusting just as intended - but suits me - I quite like my clubs nice and grubby (though do try and keep grooves clear and faces clean of dirt) - they are our tools after all. I suspect others look at my wedges and wonder what on earth I'd been doing :)
