Step bars
I am gonna probably get a set of chrome oem step bars for my truck and they have a little surface rust on them. Is that gonna come off with some cleaning and work?

Try using steel wool. I've used it on chrome exhaust tips before. Worked pretty good.

I will try that when I get the bars. I have also used some rust remover that looks like red jelly before and it has worked pretty good.
