Nice.
Yeah. Glad I never tried the acid trick before learning about it.

Only down side - it costs more than vinegar, $60.00 for five gallons compared to $25.00 for the vinegar but it can be used over and over again to de-rust up to 300 lbs. of steel per gallon so that's some compensation for the extra cost.
