I don't know about the molasses one, but I tried this one and it works- https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1I used two gallons of vinegar and the right amounts of salt and lemon juice, I put it in a big plastic tub. I was able to clean quite a bit before it seemed to loose effectiveness. One tip, I'd let the stuff soak for a couple hours, then pull it out and use a cheap paint brush to knock the sludge off. It seems likeit speeds it up a bit?

I recently tried some evapo-rust on an old rusty humming bird feeder my Mom has. Not deep pitted rust, but, thick enough rust that a wire brush was of little use. All I can say is WOW! Left a part soaking in evapo-rust overnight, and it came out like new...... I wasn't able to fully submerse the part, so you can easily see 'before and after'.

I am VERY happy with the way Evaporust removes rust, even REALLY bad rust will disolve away completely in a day or two. However, I am unhappy with the relatively short life it has, I have gone through over 10 gallons of it derusting parts from one car (dash stuff, suspension parts, etc.). So it's pretty expensive. I have started to shop around for a similar but more cost effective product and found this stuff Un-Rust It promises the same type of safe removal (only removes rust, will not etch, pit, or otherwise remove or damage good metal like acid baths can do). I ordered some today, we'll see how it goes.

This mixture works great. I mix it up in a 5 gallon bucket, about 3-1/2 gallons at a time. I seems to have a very long "shelf life" and I have cleaned a lot of parts without it losing much strength. I let stuff sit anywhere from 24 hours to 2 or 3 days when the weather is much cooler. I dont think it could get more cost effective for rust cleaning

I have used the muriatic acid on small parts and it works great. I rinse it well afterwards with water. I would not use the stuff on a large scale because it is nasty to work with and sure hurts on the skin. Buy why not just neutralize the parts with something like baking soda afterwards? Baking soda and an extra bucket are cheap.
Muriatic acid is too dangerous and agressive for me to use it comfortably. With the vinegar/lemon juice/salt mix I dont have to wear rubber gloves, be particularly concerned about splash or using it in an enclosed area. Disposal is not an issue for it either. I make a 3-1/2 gallon batch for under $10. Lasts for months.

I'm very interested in this thread/topic. For years, I always did this; - 1) mechanically removed rust; wire brush/wire wheel/sandpaper or sandblasting (if feasible) - 2) etch/convert the surface with acid or one of the "phosphate" type converters. - 3) cover with primer/paint to prevent moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal. ....BUT, it seems with all the products and all the hype/claims, it is VERY hard to determine what is the best product(s) to use. Like many people, I don't really care what it costs; whatever the cost, it's cheap compared to cutting, welding and rust repair. Here's some links I found; http://www.drjing.com/Mini/BLOG/SideBySide.htmhttp://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtop...sc&start=40Dave
