Rust removal - seat guts

(1/7) > >>

bobafett:
Had some seat guts in need of some TLC, so I set about removing the rust...........

........started with a coke bath for them  :LolLolLolLol:

Chucked them in a cup with half a can of coke and left them for 24 hours (drank the other half of the coke  ;D )







Wasn't that thrilled with the results though  :(

..... decided more ation was needed  >:(




.....so next up was going to be a coating in HP sauce - yum !

..........BUT....... I found a bottle of tesco's lemon juice in the fridge...hmmmmmmm

....I Had read about the powers of citric acid on rust before so decided to give it a go  :)




.......Much happier with the results this time  :daumenhoch:





......Finally gave everything a very quick rub down with some Autosol....

.....and bingo, lemon fresh shiney seat guts  8)   :LolLolLolLol:

Hi Andy - yes mate another 24 hours did the job  ;)

I don't know if the coke played any part in this process - maybe it broke things down a little for the lemon juice to do it's work but I doubt it did much.
To be honest, next time I do something similar i'll skip the coke proess and go straight to the lemon juice  :daumenhoch:
