Great video!

In fact I have a similar dream since looong time ago, a kind of huge bath with phosphoric acid, you put a 3series into it and after that you hope that there is still metal left :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

More seriously, it can be really great to remove rust, but I have some doubts for closed or nearly closed areas.

Yeah, none of liquid methods works with closed areas as with all of them one need to 'wash' part afterwards.

Winegar is also one stuff that helps, it works same or better as those rust transform things, but is lot cheaper, it makes rust soft and black, that is easy to wirebrush away, I did cure some storage damage of brake discs with vinegar, which is quite cost effective and readily available option. Molasses seem to be good in there that no need to wirebrush part, but haven't had chance to find full buckets, I have lot of empty buckets from 70's :lol:
