First ask yourself what "rust" is made of? Answer: Iron Oxide
2nd ask yourself what the mill scale on hot rolled steel is made of? Answer: iron oxide
Next ask yourself how much grinding, etc. you have done trying to remove either one? Answer: mucho grande!
Now we have all seen the vinegar and battery charge trick, we have seen the sandblasting trick, but what about another alternative????
Go down to the local hardware store and buy yourself some concrete cleaner and some good acid resistant gloves.
Pour it in a PLASTIC bucket and put your parts in there for about 10 or 15 minutes.
Get yourself a sponge and wipe it off, walla, no more rust or mill scale. Thats right, WIPE IT OFF.
It is that easy, heavy rust takes longer but it still works. The concrete cleaner is 20% acid so don't leave it out for the kiddies or leave your parts in to long.
