Is there a way of removing rust from the chrome tube bumper? I know most, if not all, dislike the tube style bumpers, but I like them just fine for now.
I dislike chrome more than tube bumpers unless we're talking about cars from more than 30 years old.
I do remember removing rust stains from chrome by scrubbing it with some aluminum foil.
Any chrome polish will remove the rust stain. Thankfully TJs never came with chrome.
Never and Always are two words you really should be careful using...Any chrome polish will remove the rust stain. Thankfully TJs never came with chrome.

Yeah, watch yourself.
0000 steel wool and Mothers aluminum mag polish. I restore nickel plated coleman lanterns and have a 1960 ford with nickel chrome bumpers. Nothing works better.
The correct answer is to completely neutralize the rust using phosphoric acid which is the active ingredient in naval jelly.
Some people use Coke, phosphoric acid in there too. In fact aluminum foil and Coke is a good trick.
Have I hurt your tender feelings? Not sure why, you seem to agree that phosphoric is the right answer.So I see you have a strong opinion on the subject with your correct answer. Can't say I know anybody that would enjoy rubbing naval jelly on their Jeep bumper but if it's the correct answer what are you gonna do? Heck you could probably clean your driveway too as you rinse it down the storm drain.

People here have shared their opinions on what works. You have turned it into right and wrong, I hope you understand the difference.Have I hurt your tender feelings? Not sure why, you seem to agree that phosphoric is the right answer.
