rust removal technique
I have seen this on you tube so I thought I give it a try.
Using apple vinegar to remove rust
No scrubing or sanding and the rust is gone in 8 hours.
Before
After (the black spots are old paint)

That is impressive. Forces me to reconsider the vinegar I douse my greens, cumcumbers and spinach with however.

Does it have to be apple vinegar? How about regular white vinegar?

The label on the vinegar bottle should give the percentage of acetic acid, which is typically around 5%, but may be higher. Vinegar is considered a pretty mild acid but remember you’re still dealing with an acid that can be corrosive to parts over time. There are probably better and safer ways of removing rust from most parts (IMHO).
