What do you okes do with rust on your exhaust?

I spray Q20 or WD40, and buff with steel wool.

It needs to be done about once a year ro so.

Aluminium foil. It's not abrasive like steel wool and reacts chemically to the oxidation so it does not scratch your chrome (or what's left of it, depends how rusted it is)

Get a big sheet of aluminium foil, fold it 3-4 times, then spray WD40 on the affected area and then run-a-dub-dub. It should take the worst of it away. If the area is really bad, then try steel wool.

Once finished, slap a coat of ACF-50 to prevent it getting worse Thumbs Up
