    Best Home-made rust remover?

    What's the best concoction for removing rusty parts? specifically the strut cartridge from the strut housing?

    Isn't it like Brake fluid and WD40 or something?

                      Look up this stuff called osfo, its what I use. You put it on(its a liquid) and you let it sit in the sun for a while, then the rust is gone. It adds an ion or something. Its too early for me to remember but it makes quick work of removing rust

                                  easy off oven cleaner for the cheap option. But have yet to find something as consistent s pb blaster or liquid wrench.

                                                  Don't bother using organic solvents to remove rust, its insoluble for the most part. Poly ethereals like ATF brake fluids will be a bit better, but an aqueous solution of oxalic acid or something that can reduce then carry away is much better. Metal oxides = insoluble.

                                                      Naval Jelly. But that's more for exterior surfaces.

                                                          pool acid! works great for eating rust, esp off of old rusty nuts and bolts.
