Who would have thought

[dragnusa]

Maybe somebody has tried this before but Who would have thought glass cook top cleaner and a green scrubby would remove rust like this

 

[Rat Rod]

Awesome!

How much elbow grease was involved?

 

[dragnusa]

Not to much on most of it the heavier areas I just hit the light stuff then put some more cleaner on it and did it again. I think the sprocket and crank took about 20 minutes

Wow! That's a new tip to remember. Thanks! :wink:

Ill be sure to try this instead of vinegar next time.

This is good to know, I have a bottle of glass cooktop cleaner in my shop because you can use it to clean car headlights and make them less "foggy" I'm going to have to try it for rust, I've done everything else.

Guess a run to the grocery store or wally world is in order.

I was lucky, our last 2 houses had glass cooktop stoves, but the current owners don't have cleaner. :mrgreen:

Wow! Can't wait to try this. Two for one headlights and rusty chrome.Man kitchen cleaners rule!

 

[dragnusa]

It seems to work great on older chrome but tried it on a 80s chrome bmx frame and it took a lot more scrubbing. and dont use on paint you want to keep

Doesn't work as well as those headlight polish kits you can get at auto stores or Walmart, but if you have cleaner and the headlights are foggy, just rub some on, like wax and rub it off, I saw a difference in my headlights.

Awesome Tip!

Is it just the angle of the camera or did you flip the sprocket over?

Looks good, but 20 minutes per part starts to add up, and make your fingers tired. From the look of the rust in your pictures, Oxalic acid will do just as good, and you just let it soak overnight. Unless you're in a hurry, that's the way I would go. This might work better for odd shaped parts that you can't submerse easily, like sissy bars.

Well when you live in a very small town where its not the easiest to get things like that. You use what you have on hand I usually do stuff like this while were just sitting around outside talking and watching the kids play, so the next thing you know its done.
