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?<br>
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.....<br>
thanks,<br>
