Anyone try this? I have also seen molasses videos. I have used specifically apple cider vinegar to remove rust from an old knife. It worked fairly well. So much easier then wire brushing or sanding. I wish I had known about nature's way to remove rust a long time ago. It is just so much easier! But, I also think results very based upon quality of vinegar.

I had actually seen that before, but never tried it. I found it when looking for how to clean my gas tank. For chrome though, I have tried aluminum foil. I read online, then saw on youtube, that you get wet aluminum foil, and rub on the rusted chrome area. Doing this will get rid of a lot of the rust. When I tried it, I was surprised at how fast and effective it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0FNlxDJbQo
Surface rust all the time also he swears buy the permatrex peratrex rust converter sys that's the best
I use the apple vinegar trick on corroded electrical connections. Battery terminals, light bulb sockets, etc. Cleans it down to the copper. I use a sandwich bag, fill it with vinegar, slip the connector into the bag and twist tie it. I leave it on 30 minutes. Rinse with water, blow dry, reassemble. Apple (brown) vinegar is slightly stronger (more acidic) that the white so I assume both will work.
The only way to put that shine on your classic just before a show is: 3 parts water and 1 part white vinegar in a Walmart pump bottle.
I use cheap white vinegar all the time to remove rust -- it's amazing. You just have to be patient as it takes a week or more if an item is heavily rusted. (less for light stuff) I keep a pail of it in the basement and toss stuff in. It will also remove the paint. I just did my bumper jack pieces. Once complete I rinse/dry and throw on ospho http://www.ospho.com/ to neutralize any thing left.
Forgot to add that I have soaked lamp sockets and power window connectors over night (used a cottage cheese container) -- and had awesome results.
If you use this method you gotta use baking soda after. When you introduce vineger into rust a chemical reaction happens. The purpose of adding baking soda after is to stop the reaction so you don't have a big deep continuous breakdown of metal... so I heard in a science class. I once saved a lot of old tools and tool box's with white vinegar. I soaked them for 2days. Some more days then others. Slightly rubbed off the residue. Rinsed with water then sprinkled baking soda on them (alot). Rinsed. then I was done.
I've been trying to drink a tablespoon every morning! Very hard to do. They say it's the best thing for you. If I can do that. And stop eating Frosted Miniwheats every night before bed. I may live to be older.
OK, enough is enough! Now you're messing with my Frosted Mini Wheats!!! My problem is not eating them before bed, but waking up in the middle of the night and eating bowlS of them. Delicious!!! No wonder I wake up and feel full. Life is good, my belly is getting bigger. >
Frosted miniwheats here too.....have you tried the strawberry ones? Drool..... Now back to the regular scheduled programming......
Have you ever tried Evapo-Rust? I stopped to use my glass bidding cabinet. Best about it, is that parts don't flash rust immediately after rinsing.
I used this on a very rusty 59 buick and it works very well. You need to dilute the vinegar in water though, and make sure you neutralize the vinegar after with baking soda or you will be sorry after you paint it!
