Naval Jelly link (Info that might help in cleaning)

[JoanInCreek]

I checked out aluminium jelly but the info on line does not praise the product . Might just be for small lightweight, simple items, not heavy duty. So I checked out naval jelly which is what my son used to clean metal a few years ago (he used a pink color). Here is a link that might be helpful: http://www.shorechemical.com/Section%207%20Tech%20Sheets/naval_jelly.htm

Naval Jelly leaves a black finish on whatever you put it on...
It removes the oxide from the rust, and leaves this black coating that is VERY hard to remove...I would not recommend it...

I didn't know that, thanks.

Yes, it's the phosphoric acid that reacts with rust and turns into a black coating. I use it to rust proof vehicle frames and garden tractor attachments before painting.
