A word about sand and glass bead blasting is that it not only as in this case takes the rust but can also take away some of the good metal surface away also. Plus, it leaves a rough surface that leaves sharp very small pits that may lead to cracks. What we used on the aircraft were walnut shells. It only took the paint and corrosion and left the good surface intact without any sharp pits.

Blasting is really a whole 'nother topic itself (no slight to the author; this is an awesome comparison). There are at least a dozen common blasting medias, running from plastic beads to walnut shells/corn cobs, to glass beads, crushed glass, aluminum oxide, crushed garnet, and finally to steel beads. Each of these comes in a range of coarseness, and in the case of metallic media, hardness ratings, as well. The correct media is a function of what you want removed, how rough you want the resulting surface to be, the hardness of the subject item, and whether you want the surface mechanically altered (e.g. etching glass or shot-peening a steel part). With the correct media, you can thoroughly and quickly prep anything from delicate aluminum aerospace parts to the multi-inch thick steel hull of a ship. Ironically, conventional sand, which breaks down into dangerous silica dust, should NEVER be used, because inhaling silica will seriously--and quickly--cause permanent lung damage. But we still call it "sand-blasting". Go figure.

A nice comparison, with reasonable allowance of time. But, one final step is skipped for Evaporust and others. These require that the residue of converted rust be removed using a brush, and preferably soap and water. This gives you a look at what the final result actually is. The black stuff needs to come off. Also, evaporust is considerably more effective and much faster at elevated temps. 90-100F makes the difference between a couple of hours and 24 hours !

On voit souvent l'un ou l'autre de ces procédés dans différentes vidéos, appliqués à des objets assez variés. Difficile de se rendre compte de leur efficacité respective. Voila une vidéo qui les compare de manière claire et objective. Bravo !

I had an old saw that was completely covered in thick rust. I put paper towels on two spots and poured apple cider vinegar on one and white vinegar on the other. I put Dawn Ultra dish liquid on a third spot. I covered them in plastic and left them overnight. The vinegars both worked extremely well with no difference between them. The Dawn did some but not nearly as much. I scraped the dissolved rust residue off and did both sides with white vinegar again, cleaned and repeated. It left a dark patina but removed virtually all the rust. I sprayed both sides with WD-40 to keep it from re-rusting.

I agree, white vinegar is definitely best.

Awesome video, Thank you! now consider part-2... which of these "cleaned" springs (in the future going forward) will rust most/first... so hang them up for like 12 months (same conditions) and lets see. I'll bet you will see many views, your consistent tests and same size samples are key!

I used electrolysis with a split open coffee can as the sacrificial metal on a 100 year old cast iron skillet. It had thick rust and debris when I found it abandoned in a basement. After 3 hours in solution it came out looking like it was new from the foundry.....an even grey color and not a speck of gunk left! Electrolysis has been my choice ever since.

Does it matter the strength of the power source that you use during electrolysis?

@@kashiefhenry830 I used a 12 V manual battery charger. It can’t be an automatic as they perform differently during electrolysis. I believe I set the amperage at about 6 charging..... positive electrode on the can and negative on the skillet. Within a few minutes you’ll see very small bubbles coming from the cast iron. The sacrificial metal has to “face” the object being cleaned. I split open a large coffee can and faced it towards the skillet. After several hours, I used a fresh coffee can and turned the skillet for the back side treatment. Be careful not to put your hands in the water as it is electrified when the charger is on. The result was 113 year old, rusty, cruddy pan that came out looking gray like it was fresh from the factory!

@@jted68 I am also thinking of starting to learn electrolysis because it seems to be the best cheapest and good choice for any home owner that wants to clean the rust, the only issue is you have to have big enough tank for what you want to clean, if its big item , it means you need big bucket or something, and lots of distilled water which is not that expensive I guess or idk i guess you can use regular water ? Also how strong does the electric power source need to be, do i need more volts or amps ? anyways i got few things to learn and since i have to clean some bigger metal things, I might want to invest in big bucket, maybe even big deep plastic thrash can would work since they are not expensive i need to learn this because cleaning the damn rust with wire brush or electric grinder brush addons just doesnt cut it anymore

Plain white vinegar will have the same effect, if the item is left submerged for several days

Thanks for this Tim.

Great Job on the video. I’m going to try the vinegar and citrus on some door parts and screws

I'm really impressed with the variety. I was surprised naval jelly was not among the methods tested though. One thing I would be interested in is how well each method removed the rust from the intersteces and touching surfaces of the spring, where I would think some methods might not be able to reach. Also some note as to how badly pitted the metal surfaces were after rust removal after each treatment.

Amazingly good video! Everyone who deals with rust needs to watch this :)

Ospho is one brand of phosphoric acid that does a great job. I've used it extensively on race cars with no complaint,, especially good in protecting from future corrosion.

All useful information. You get a gold star for honesty.

Thank you for doing this and sharing it. It has helped me a lot. Much appreciate it.

I’m leaning towards evapo rust when bought in a 5 gallon bucket you can use it over and over And it doesn’t hurt rubber seals its been good to and my projects But in this I did see a bunch of things work very well

I also like using Evapo-Rust for removing rust from tools and hardware. It works great but it does take longer than some of the other products shown. It also seems to remove any plating, turning some metals black. It is reusable; just drain it and get rid of the residue at the bottom of your soak container. I was impressed that most of the others worked really well but surprised at the cola results. I thought it worked faster than that by the way people talk about how caustic it is. I like that Evapo-Rust is safe for kids and animals to be around, in case of a spill (and for the environment too, I guess.) I have been able to restore many different tools that were handed down or got left out in the rain, and also some neat antique hardware I found digging around in my old yard. I still haven’t figured out how to use it on my vehicles. I didn’t buy that much!! (Imagine trying to DIP a pickup truck!)

It took a lot of work and knowledge to make this video. VERY useful!! Thanks!!

Looks like for cheapest and most effective its citric acid - nice one! Personally i always use Phosphoric acid or Jenolite which is basically the same thing as it puts a protective coat on the metal once it has dissolved the rust!

Jenolite. Funny, I read Gelignite. Probably would get rust off too. Any that stays you won't be around to worry about

I think the WD 40 did a good job, sandblasting removed all the rust, but also some metal. Might look for some of these products though.

useful information, especially for me, i live alongside a sea shore, and the maintenance on my galvanized trailers is very high, especially the boat trailer. I've just brought new ,replacing the old trailers. Things like springs and bolt heads show rust signs very early. Tools in the shed all need treatment and painting often. Thanks like & subscribed

If you are using Phosphoric make sure to start out with a diluted solution, perhaps 50%. You can always mke it more concentrated by adding small amounts. Please wear nitrile type gloves with eye protection and consider a plastic full apron. Always add Acid to Water.
