Removing HCl fume corrosion
2003-04-30 by grantfair2001
I have easily removed most of the rust on steel tools from the HCl fumes with a metal polish, Autosol. It is quick, and needs only some elbow grease. I guess it may have some ammonia in it, as well as polishing compound and petroleum distillates. Any way, it works well. So far everything looks almost as good as new after the polish. I was lucky to catch this within 24 hours or less. Grant
