I wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes.

It's a slide show that depicts how vinegar can remove rust. I found it posted on another forum this morning. Enjoy.

wow them did clean up good

 

I knew vinegar does a lot of different things, but never used it on rust. I will definitely try it though.

 

I got to try this out.

 

Hmm, where are those small rust holes? Vinegar has no hole fill up abilities...
Coca-Cola does work also very good on rust( it does contain a huge amount of phosphor acid), but it also can't repair rust bites.

 

That lloks great, but how much did you have to scrub it(hard, soft). and did you let it soak or just start scrubbing?

 

me too

 

This summer if anyone gets a bad sunburn, rub white vinegar
on, and pain will go away.

 

this man speaks the truth.....

 

So I know that vinegar works great on water stains- but rust has a complete different composition.

Do an experiment with Coca-Cola. Throw your rusty tools into Coca-Cola and after a couple of days they look almost as new.
I tried that and it works.

Coca-Cola on sunburns does not work...
