To All, 

I got this from my friend Alan, I never heard of this before either, but it 
may help some of you who are fixing up old cars.

Never heard of white vinegar for rust removal. Must work.

Not really what I said last night but I didn't think it was appropriate to put 
my actual exclaimation... 
I digress. 
Not sure which thread had this suggestion but I had to pop on and say thanks 
and acknowledge the success of soaking rusted part in white vinegar. 
Last week, I managed to part out a 77 Spitfire with full original seats and 
tracks. PO had obviously hit some rain with the top down as his floor boards 
and seat tracks were rusted but the under carriage was in fine shape. The rust 
was bad enough that the seats would not slide at all. I striped the seats, 
pulled off the tracks and soaked them on a bin with 4 gallons of white vinegar 
starting Monday morning. 
Last night I went to check on the mix and didn't see and improvement. I pulled 
one of the tracks out and the rust, grease and debris simply sloughed right 
off the tracks leaving bare, clean metal. 
I was flabbergaster. Even the bolts I left in the mix looked to be in near 
perfect condition. The tracks glide easily and look as close to new as I have 
ever seen. I am now looking for full-sized swimming pools to fill with white 
vinegar as a new method for restoring rusted cars. 
Dang this was cool to find out.
