Would be cool if someone had before and after pictures.
I've got pictures of it on Cast Iron exhaust manifolds.
I would never use it on emblems. I can clean them fine with q-tips, chrome polish, very fine steel/brass wool. Actually an old electric drafting eraser works great. I don't mess with pitted to death emblems. I buy better used ones or buy new. Especially if I was doing a full "resto".
Maybe the acid will make a full junk emblem look like a 3/4 junk emblem in quick time.

Muriatic acid is no way to be doing stuff this size. The fumes will kill you, the stuff will burn you, it flash rusts as soon as you take the parts out and disposal is a real issue.
For any rust removal I suggest something like evaporust. Its much safer, stuff won't flash rust and disposal is less of a problem.
I was wondering when this guy would show up. If you can afford to buy enough evaporust you are rich enough to send it to the big guys and not do it yourself. I have used muriatic acid for 40 years to clean rust and paint off of big items. Don't use on alluminum, use outside and keep your head out of the bucket. A little common sense goes a long way. I have anouther container with soda water to counteract the acid bath, just dip for a few minutes then rinse. Anouther continer with the radiator rust inhibator to keep from flashing. Muratic acid evaporates into the air so keep away from anthing that you don't want to rust up.

Seems to me that you probably have more invested in all those containers and their contents than I'd have in a single container of evaporust - which needs no rinse !!! And I don't have to worry about the evaporating acid rusting everything in the general vicinity either. Sometimes it makes sense to spend a little more money on the right stuff.

20 gallons of evaporust @$23.95 or 20 gallons of muratic acid- 5 @$7.00 vineger mix 15-@$2.49 I make up the boxes for the size item i'm derusting. I do use the evaporust product for things that will fit in a gallon can, but when you're talking a door, fender or frame rail its to costly and only lasts a few times before it stops working, the acid mix never stops working.
