[RE-wrenches] cleaning modules

Tom,

 

I would also try Kerosene which is also a mild abrasive.

 

Happy New Year.

hello Wrenches,
  I recently purchased some used modules. Unfortunately, they were mounted
near a railroad track and many have a film of rust on the front surface. I
have tried a few products; Dawn, Simple Green, vinegar (5% acidity),  and
Krud Kutter to safely remove the rust. So far the vinegar seems to be best
when considering cost, disposal ,etc. But it still takes a good amount of
time and "elbow grease". Today I will try CLR.  Has anyone else run into a
similar situation? If so, what products and/or methods did you use to remove
rust stains?
  Awhile back I had to remove some urethane caulk from the face of module
and had to resort to a solvent-based chemical (acetone....yes, acetone) with
disastrous results.....
thanks,
tom
