almost free rust removal using battery charger and washing soda?
I have heard about this method, but its like reverse plating, it removes metal from the part. I am very apprehensive about doing it that way, I chose another way of getting rid of rust.
I bought a gallon of Eastwood's Rust Dissolver and I gave it a try I have had some parts soaking for 24 hours. I have to say I am EXTREMELY impressed. My parts were 38 year old rusty suspension pieces, they look like new now. Here are some pictures.
This product works great for anything that can be soaked in it, I submerged heavily rusted suspension pieces, it removed paint, grease, rust and dirt. The parts came out beautiful. This stuff only works on parts that can be completely submerged. Don't beleive the directions, it takes a few days to remove rust from heavily rusted pieces, not minutes and hours like the directions say. Also, forget the quart, forget the gallon, buy 3-4 gallons and keep it in a 5 gallon bucket, Its just easier than having to turn the pieces every few hours. Also, I rinsed the bolts with water and they flash rusted while drying. I am going to dip them again and this time spray them in WD40.
I recently found out that Evapo-Rust is the same as the Eastwood product, but a whole lot cheaper, it is available in a 5 gallon, which I recently bought for $70 plus $26 shipping. This stuff work great, it has been used by engine shops and the military for derusting without removing any extra metal.
Also, ckeck out the pinion snubber, I left it half dipped overnight, amazing difference.
