If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

 I  soaked some rusty steel engine screws etc in white vinegar once in a plastic coffee container and of course I forgot about them for a very long time. I was amazed and shocked when I went to retrieve my now what must be shiny bits and it was basically a blob of unrecognizable junk  :D Try it sometime on some junk screws and you will be surprised also  ;)

They'll turn out nice. I've used Metal Rescue a bunch of times with great results. You do need to keep it above a certain temp. when using it which it says on the container. I kept mine under a heat lamp.

It is kind of expensive but I ordered 2 gallons, if I remember correctly, and Amazon accidentally sent me like 6, haha.

They only billed you for 12, right?

Haha, yup. Bought 2, sent me 6, paid for 12. Maybe this wasn't the deal I thought it was...

It is safe to leave parts submerged for days without harming the metal or paint.


Just watch out for red paint. Apparently some red paint is colored by some sort of red oxide, so MR will discolor that.

That explains why my tattoos look a little faded all of a sudden  :o

They are straight, many if not most offered on ebay are dented from a spill and may have shiny chrome and look great but your turn signal stalk is not going to be straight or level many times and I do not believe there is any way most of us would be able to attempt to correct that problem.
