Totally agree with clint,never ever had any problems this way :daumenhoch:
Tin foil,coke/water and elbow grease total waste of time and effort :idiot2: but if you have time to waste crack on its your frame to restore whichever way you wish :daumenhoch:

You've found one thread on this forum where the chrome has lifted after a citric/oxalic bath (the chrome obviously had issues in the first place). Dig a little deeper and you could probably find hundreds of threads on here where members have used this method without any issues whatsoever... it is recommended because it has been tried and tested many times. ???
Btw if you wanna use tin foil to remove rust from a chrome frame you crack on mate but giving duff infomation out to fellow members on here isn't the done thing so do us all a favour and keep your old wives tales to yourself... thanks. :daumenhoch:

Anybody used a paddling pool to bath a frame in?

Duff information? Just repeating what another member recently said. There is clearly a risk that some members didn't mention at all! That's the duff information mate. Nothing I have said is duff thanks. Find one word.
Fact is citric acid risks lifting your chrome! That's all. It's a fact. Not duff information!
