Learn how to remove rust with products you have at home like vinegar and ketchup. This rust removal process is super easy and removes every spec of rust. First step is to use soapy water to clean and degrease your rusted parts. Next, cover the rusted parts with vinegar or ketchup and let it soak for 4-6hrs. Then use baking soda and water to neutralize the acid and finally spray the parts down with a light oil like silicone spray to prevent future rust.

Hello Chris, thank you for your reply to my burger & fries comment, but I did forget to say thank you very much for your video on poor idle problem, my idle air control valve was a little bit hidden under throttle body back towards firewall I used valvoline throttle plate cleaner and followed your instructions on cleaning it, that $8.00 can saved me what could have been a financial nightmare on sensors and etc. Thank you again for your help, much appreciated...👍👍

I dont think salt would make the reaction quicker. If anything it would slow it down since the vinegar is converting the rust into a salt and a higher concentration of salt already in the water would slow that reaction down. Not completely sure tho.

As someone who used power tools and sandpaper to remove all rust on 4 brake drums this past year, the vinegar or ketchup looks like a much better solution. Not as time consuming, and you wouldn't be covered in rust and dirt by the time you're done, not to mention completely skipping the labor involved in doing it by hand.

@YourAssAintSafe 2 жыл бұрын

@chrisfix 2 жыл бұрын

You can’t get all the rust off with a scotch brite pad. There will be rust below the surface and that rust will just spread and come back. This gets in all the pores of the metal and removes all the rust with virtually no work. It just takes time. What I tend to do is put the fasteners in some vinegar as I work on the vehicle and by the time I’m installing the new part and need to use the fastener, the rust is gone.
