I am intrigued by the muriatic acid treatment,

I've also used Muriatic Acid (MA) to remove chrome plating, zinc plating, and other coatings. Its amazingly easy to do.

Not all MA is created equally. The stuff at the big box stores is pretty weak; get yours at a real pool supply shop.

Use about 1 part MA and 2 parts water for starters, then adjust from there. Rinse well with some baking soda dissolved in water to neutralize the acid.

MA is probably the strongest chemical you can buy on the retail market. Be very smart. If you use it anywhere near your car, your car will melt into rust clumps

Good luck
