VERY interesting thread.
I have a question. Will this solution have any adverse affects on chrome?
The reason I ask is that I have a set of road wheels that are in nice shape that I want to restore. The chrome spokes are perfect, but the backsides have very minor surface rust. I don't want to blast the backsides as it would remove any plating.
Ever use this solution on chrome parts?
I've read about using oxalic acid to dissolve rust, but am also afraid it will affect or discolor the chrome.
