[Healeys] Rust removal analysis (long)

[Jackson Krall]

Tadeusz,
Here in NY I have been using a metal and cement prep/etch product that I get at Home Depot. I don't have it in front of me so can't give you the name of product but it is phosphoric acid and found in the paint dept. I have been using it to derust a Bugeye. Apply a coating, let sit overnite, then scrub and rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc. Labor intensive, tedious, but it works. It's acid and some metal is theoreticaly lost but nothing significant. HD also has a soy(I think)based product, Rust Remover, made by Zep, that works well and sometimes I use both. Someone on the list once suggested using a parts cleaner pump to keep the liquid moving over the part being derusted. This should speed up the process and I'm going to try it. 
Best
