Default Re: Rust removal from steel component on the cheap.

This thread came at the right time. I am having a clear-out of the garage and found some rusty nails and staples. Instead of binning them I tried an approx 50:50 mix of vinegar and lemon juice (Asda), left them in the solution overnight, and by morning the rust had gone. Not bright and shiny like new ones, more of a dull matte finish.
