I recently read the old post about home made rust remover recipes and am wondering if there are any new developments or formula's proven to work.

Also, it seemed that a major issue with the vinegar/lemon juice/salt formula was neutralizing the acid once the parts were cleaned. Has anyone tried running newly cleaned parts through a cycle in a dishwasher. Other than a possible domestic squabble, would this be an effective way to neutralize the acidic residue?

Evaporust is also acidic. Not as much but still it is not ph neutral.

The only "major issue" seems to be with those who poo-poo the non-commercial solution.
After treating the parts in the vinegar/lemon juice/salt I just rinse the pieces thouroughly in water. Drop them in a bucket of clean water and soak for a minute. Thats it. Really. No problems.
Spend a lot more money on the commercial products if you want to but I make this stuff in 5 gallon buckets for under $10 and it lasts a long time.
