    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is that in the paint department, Ed?

Any special treatment after soaking it?

Rinse (of course), polish, clear coat, ... ?

What does it to to chrome?

Looking at removing some rust from some chromed accessories, hoping maybe this might work.

exactly the same thing, can be achieved using molasses.....
9 parts of water with 1 part of molasses = phosphoric acid.
i use this all the time....its gentle and very cheap

Paint department Steve. Rinse with water when done. Best to towel dry to avoid a bunch of flash rust. Most production based paint shops use phosphate washes to clean and prep parts for paint. It is acid so don't think I'd put anything in it with a clear coat or such. I've used it to clean rusted chrome parts and it works, but not sure it's ideal for that job. Oxalic acid is prefered for derusting chrome since it won't hurt the metal or good chrome.
