I have an old wood Miller beer barrel, the staves are rust stained from the hoops, and otherwise it is only weathered gray from being outside. Not using it as an antique, but wishing to “restore” it some, and then protect it to a degree outside. Might someone know how might I best remove the rust from the wood without too much negative effect? After removing the rusted hoops, I intend to prime them with a rust converter and primmer. ½ the hoops are still mostly galvanized. Then I intend to coat the wood a few times with a raw linseed oil and turpentine mix. Any other suggestions better methods would be appreciated.

Spilled nail polish remover on top of wood dresser. Washed, rinsed, buffed vigorously w/dry rag. Now faint white spots remain. How do I get rid of this? THANK You!
