 Anyone else tried this? I bought some to try on that 100 year old National sewing machine. Some of the removable parts were badly rusted. Soaked them all day in a bowl with this and the rust went away! Took it all down to bare metal. I can wax them or clear coat them now. I was skeptical when I watched the video on their site but it really does work. And it's non-toxic and biodegradable.

"We actually keep cars in the garage. " OMG! this is so "non-American" LOL See, Honey, I'm not the only one that thinks garages were made to put cars in it.

Along with that product
I tried WD 40s Specialist Industrial Degreaser in the spray can to degunk the segments in some vintage typewriters. Importantly it is not a lubricant which you don't want in the segments. The label states its safe for plastics with caution , its not stinky, etc so you can use it indoors.. And it works very well.

Well I pulled up the MSDS and it tells us nothing (typical for this company, a very secretive lot). I assumed that it was likely a decent acid but the listed PH is "6-8" and it is deemed non-toxic although they do suggest not inducing vomiting should it be ingested.
Other reports on the web seem very favorable. Only negative I read was that it removed the chromate plating on some steel parts along with the rust. I'm curious what this magic liquid is, I may just have to buy some and see. | ||

The sewing machine parts I used it on were mostly chrome plated but so old they had rusted badly. They are very shiny now. It does say it will not hurt paint....I put a painted piece in the solution and it did not hurt it at all. It has no smell until some iron particles get into it then it has a peculiar odor but nothing strong. I got it on my bare hands with no problems at all. You can keep using the same solution until it turns black or just stops working. It impressed me. Whatever you use it on should be small enough to be submerged into the solution. It's not a spray on wipe off type thing. | ||
