I have an 80's era Vermont Castings Vigilant. It's in great shape, but over the past few years it's acquired various patches of a white/gray patina. I've also noticed some light exterior rust. What's the best method to restore this workhorse to its original black beauty?
How to clean grey patina from exterior of Vermont Castings stove?

The grey/white areas sound like the stove has been overfired. You could wirebrush down the entire stove, then paint with a good stove paint like StoveBrite metallic black.
