Saving recipe here for later use or in case video gets removed.
1 liter of water (distilled preferred)
100g of citric acid granules
and ONE of the following:
40g of sodium carbonate (Washing soda)
OR
63g Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking soda)
OR
30g of Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)
Once solution stops fizzing (will not fizz with Sodium Hydroxide) add
1-2 Tbsp of liquid dish soap as surfactant agent.
Submerge into solution parts free of loose rust and scale for 15-30 minutes or until metal is clean of rust.
Store and use solution in a plastic container especially for long periods of time. Solution will slowly dissolve metal, eventually completely if left long enough. Hence beware!
