Re: Coke for rust removal
Going to bump this one....
I picked up some old OE bbc chrome v.covers for cheap that are in decent enough shape w/a LOT of grime, dirt build-up, & surface rust. I tried spraying them down w/some degreaser & scrubbing w/0000 steel wool. That took most of the 'easy' stuff off but not the hard/stubborn stuff. I tried more steel wool w/some WD40 but there wasn't much difference. Any suggestions on something I can possibly soak these in to loosen the stubborn stuff w/o destroying the present chrome finish (trying to salvage if @ all possible)? The one I've scrubbed on so far does look better; just still has a long way to go. I'm just trying to work smarter.... not harder.

Re: Coke for rust removal
Regular vinegar is what I use, I think its stronger. I free'd up a very rusty fuel sender off my old 49 GMC. Anything acidic should work I would think.
I've used tin foil to shine up rusty chrome but never with coke. Might be fun to try.

Re: Coke for rust removal
Ok, I'll try the vinegar approach. How long of a soak do you guys think (mins, hours, days)?

Re: Coke for rust removal
Coke will take the oily film off your windshield too. You know when it's raining and that crap that smears all over as the wipers go by (?) I guess it's oil .. just road grime in general.

Re: Coke for rust removal
I tried the Coke and foil on my rusty chrome wheels. I was surprised how quickly it removed the rust, and it left the chrome looking good. I think I scratched one area where I was rubbing too hard, but it looks far better than the rust did!
By the way, the chrome polish barely made a dent in the rust. But the Coke took it off right away. I think it was actually diet cherry Pepsi. I bought a new 2 liter bottle of real Coke just for this purpose, but I haven't even opened it yet...

Re: Coke for rust removal
Using coke for rust removal is nothing new, my Dad was using this on the old split rim truck wheels, back in the 1940's and 50's!!! Dad always worked in big truck shops, they used lots of coke back then. Hope people enjoy drinking this stuff!!!!

Re: Coke for rust removal
Oxalic Acid works great too if you have time and a big enough tank to let something soak. I used it on a set of 1950's Rollfast bicycle fenders and it works pretty good. It's great if you're lazy and don't want to do any scrubbing. Actually though, since you don't have to scrub the chrome you won't be scratching it. I bought a few pounds of it on ebay, it comes in powder form.
Check out this thread, this guy cleaned a set of chrome wheels that were rusty. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vie...ghlight=oxalic

Re: Coke for rust removal
It's the all natural, health-wise alternative to Coke.

Re: Coke for rust removal
Also, I didn't have a pan/vat big enough for the 26" bicycle wheels and fenders so I found a blow up kiddie pool on clearance at Walmart that did the job quite nicely. The looks I got walking around with that thing in the store were priceless.

Re: Coke for rust removal
Anyone tried using a battery charger for rust removal? Tons of info on youtube and it seems to work great. The only think is you have to have a tub/tank big enough for your parts.
