Removing rust

[DaGoomba]

Being a noob at restoring grills, I have heard soaking rusted metal parts in distilled vinegar is great at removing the rust and is obviously a lot safer than acids etc.

What do you seasoned vets use for salvageable rusted metal parts, hardware etc?

Thanks for any sage advise

There's a tread on here where Duke soaks in vinegar and baking soda, I'll try to find the link

I started with this






After soaking the wheels overnight they ended up like this,






Anything else is just wasting time....
