some one posted a method for removing rust by just soaking the item in a vinigar bath, so i tried it, i found an old lump hammer head behind my garage, i tried wire brushing it on one end and took ages for minimal results, so i left it in a jar of vinigar for 24 hours, amazing,,,,,,, with a tooth brush it took it back to raw metal, i was gob smacked, vinegar removes rust.. :D :D

Try it in some rough cider -- that'll take the paint off too !!!!!!

I'll put my sockets in there then, only little bits inside :y

'Posh' car owners suffering rust on their car`s paint finish might wish to use Balsamic vinegar! ;D

Looks like I need to go buy some vinegar then! :y
Could do with an old swimming pool which we could fill and stick the Omega in it for a 'soak' for 24hrs! ;D
