Clicky!!

WARNING - if you get your +ve and -ve the wrong way around, you'll not get the result you where looking for.

I know this topic hasn't been posted in for a while but i found this guide while looking about online.

Uses standard cheapo Malt Vinegar and the results look amazing!!!!! Going to try this on my hubs and see how they come up. Will post the results when i have them.

Is that on steel or alloy? I find that grit blasting works just fine

 

[jason_l]

Won't be Alloy Max, as Alloy doesn't rust

Arghhh! This is what revision does to you, it makes you forget the things that are more important just so you can answer some crappy questions that have no relation to the syllabus that you've studied!

Really? 

Anyway, im going to try the vinegar thing on my hubs next week and see if it works. Should do, its just the same as a acid bath basically.

Will do Hopefully should be pretty good.

I think we Need a 'How To Section' that things like this can be put into Danny? Would be good having a few walkthroughs on the most commonly asked questions and helpfull tips like this.

Jason, there was a complete how-to on rust removal in CKC a couple of months back, I can dig it out for you if you're interested?

 

[Mini Mad Max]

Oh yeah i remember that, the guy even used a bottom arm from a mini because he had a gtm coupé at the time ;D

Sorry to dig up an old thread - Thought I could have a bit of input though

I'm most of the way through beating rust on a VW caddy - I'd say I was a bit of a Veteran !

I've done most rust removal/correction methods:
Electrolosis
Acid Dip (Vinegar)
Rust convertors
Mechanical (sandblasting/wire brusing etc)
Sectioning  :'(

Vinegar works very well  ;D

 

[Danny]

is that just straight vinegar that did that???

14p malt

you'll get funny looks when you go to your local Tescos and buy 25 bottles
