Hi,

My RV5's bridge just lost that shinny look and the pickups pole pieces have some rusty points,
how can i solve this problem?

For heavy duty polishing, I use Xtreme metal polish from stewmac to occasionally shine up my chrome hardware (Bridge, tuner, jazz control plate, frets too) it works great and smells awesome too. However for light cleaning, the Sadowsky everyday polish is phenomenal.

As far as your pickup pole pieces go, I'm not too sure what's safe to use as you'd want to be careful not to damage the pickups.

If the rusting of the pickup poles bothers you, I've heard of guys putting clear nail polish on the poles as a protective measure against rusting, but it wont do anything after the rust is already there. Call it mojo.
