What do you seasoned vets use for salvageable rusted metal parts, hardware etc?
Thanks for any sage advise :D
There's a tread on here where Duke soaks in vinegar and baking soda, I'll try to find the link
Here it is

Thanks, ill check out and see if any of the hardware stores carry that.
I think O'Reilly Auto Parts, Auto zone or Lowes might carry it...
