stem allen key bolt cleaning

<< < (3/3)

David:
Vinegar cleaned the green shite off me Mini's fusebox, that was copper mind :idiot2:

Soak the bolts in some dilluted limescale remover for a couple of day's, that WILL work. That's what I do.

Or just buy some rust remover :D

Zippy:
I love cleaning up old bits and restoring them to as close the the original condition as possible, however I can also see the chuck it in the bin and buy new side of things as well.

I've got a few bit's and peices being restored by myself at the moment and I'm enjoying doing it but I do at times think it would be easier to just buy a new imaculate set instead.

Rombloke:
wood bleach mixed in water.....soak the part over night, then gently rub the rust away with a scotch brite cloth to reveal nice new metal.
this is also known as oxcilic acid....i shouldnt really do this link but im gonna have to
