Moza:
anyone suggest the mix ratio and time for the item to be left in the solution please

Threaders:
I tried this on a mongoose frame with a bit of rust. did sod all though. Left it in for two days cant remember the exact ratio was around 2 table spoons per litre. there is a lot of threads on this topic on www.bmxmuseum.com :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Use it all the time and its the best stuff you can use.  :daumenhoch:
Usually i do around a 20/1 ratio of water to cap and it will take surface rust off over night. For heavier rust you need to leave it longer and give the item a scrub a few times with a brush.

wilkinsons do little 50g tubs for 97p or you can get it at any home brew supply shop

Even a really weak solution will work, it just takes longer. You just have to weigh up time vs cost  ;)

glenboy:
coca cola rubbing it in with tin foil is the best moza , or vinegar with salt in depending on amount of rust and size of item but coke and tin foil gets amazing results makes you think whats coke doing to your insides
