Title: On EvapoRust
Post by: G$ on April 08, 2015, 08:26:16 AM

I had a chance to snap some pictures that show how EvapoRust works on wheels.    The wheels were in decent shape but really rusty.  I dipped them in Evapo Rust and the results are below.

One note:  I dipped these wheels twice.  The second dip did not really improve upon the first, and it started to lift the black paint off the wheels a bit.   So my advice is to stop the treatment when you are happy with the results and don't over do it on PAINTED materials.

Very nice. How long of a dip did you go for?

Mine were in overnight, but they were much worse than yours.

I have another set to clean up that are in a similar condition to yours. I don't want to over-do it.

@jcnaz  I dipped them about 12 hours each time.  The second dip was actually a little longer and the first a little shorter.

FWIW the black paint removal is mostly on the inside of each wheel, and I am not displeased with the results AT ALL.   Folks should just be prepared that as the evapo rust is lifting rust, it may carry stuff with it. 

All in all, it is a great treatment.
