O.K Guys and gal? I seem to remember one of them on here. Well anyay, I need a few suggestions on a good rust remover. I need to strip all the rust off my new/old toy. I can dip some parts but most will have to be done on the machine. So anyone have any good suggestions? You can see what I am doing here at this link.

Re: Good Rust remover?
The best remover I've ever used is walnut shell sandblasting media. Doesn't touch the paint that's left, won't pit the steel and iron.
Failing that, get a couple bottles of Naval Jelly and a bunch of wire brushes. More effort, just as effective.

I compared D-Rust-It and Evapo-Rust on a car restoration project (see http://xkeresto.wordpress.com/2008/10/1 ... t-removers ). I highly recommend either of those non-toxic chelating chemicals, essentially equal in effect, to remove rust over other chemicals such as hazardous naval jelly. You can use a wet paper towel to keep an area soaking on something you can't submerge.
I had a blog reader also suggest molasses! Apparently that's an old farmer's rust removal solution (takes longer).

I heard something once about Coca Cola being a good rust remover, among the other bagillion things Coke can do, scary.....
