check this link out! i tried it on some injector line holders and some rusty wast gate line nuts and bolts and it works great makes it look like new metal!
best to let soak in the malt vinegar ! the longer the better results like 2 days if a lot of rust!http://vwcaddyforum.com/showthread.php?t=17860

What kind/brand of sonic cleaner do you have? Just curious, looking at picking up one for myself.

Wow. I wonder if white vinegar works aw well. I don't think I've ever seen malt vinegar in any store I've been to.

I've seen white vinegar in 1-2 gallon jugs locally... I imagine that it's the acid in the vinegar that's working the wonders, so white should work.

That is impressive. Maybe we should fill up our varsol tanks with malt vinegar.

I´ve used citric acid to clean out rust. It does very good results. Test piece. Phosphoric acid would be even better. It leaves phosphate to surface, which is good contact to paint. I think POR-15 Metal ready is mostly this. Klik

Wooowww
That's so cool
I'm weary to eat malt vinegar now

I've been told that molasses will do the same thing, albeit likely more slowly. Guys on metalshapers.org use about 7 parts water to 1 part molasses. Takes about a week to remove the rust.

just imagine how that will clean your arteries though :wink:

i think this guy uses a similar product to clean out ones arteries from all the plaque (build up of minerals, especially calcium)

In grade 6 i did this science experiment to see what acidic properties soda pop had so i hung a galvanized nail in sprite, coke, diet coke, root beer, and so on
I used water and vinegar as a control. After about 6 weeks there was no trace of a nail in the vinegar if i remember correctly. The worst pop was tonic water i think? or diet coke...
regular coke/rootbeer i remember was the least alarming.
