Excellent work. I have a set of rusty Kashi aero guts that I thought were beyond salvation, but maybe this might do the trick.

Gonna give it a go tomorrow...  :)

hi
don't know if this is common knowledge but  you can use OXALIC ACID to get rid of rust on just about every thing , its wood bleach amongst other uses buy it in crystals mix with water and dip away , looking at seat guts would probably been a couple of hour soak, this stuff is unreal just eats the rust dip  a frame and  it wont touch the decals either  :), don't taste as good as lemon coke though  ;D

dannywhiteley:
My seat guts are in a far worse condition than yours, and have decided to try vinegar to remove the rust.  The vinegar I have bought is a pickling type and therefore more acidic than regular sarsons.  It comes in at 6% acidity, and I cant see the lemon juice being more acidic than that (correct me if wrong).

Being that the effectiveness of the lemon juice is based around the acidity, I think vinegar should work just as well.

I'll let you know how it goes.
