Yep, it does not etch rust and metal, it reduces rust to metal.

Has anyone got a list of things you need for electrolysis? I'm trying to find a list and a guide but i can't seem to find one.

Also does it damage rubber seals etc? Finally what parts am i allowed to do? I know not to do disc brakes or the flywheel as they could suffer from hydrogenation (i think) and become brittle and shatter :eek:. My plan was to do the brake callipers, brake drums, front uprights and some other stuff if it works well.

all you need is an 12 volt car battery charger, baking powder, a container to put your parts in and some scrap steel to surround your rusty part.

connect the + side of the charger to the metal surrounding your object and the - side to the object. pour the solution of water & baking powder into the container with your object and leave over night.

DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL THOUGH!!!!! it turns your water very toxic & harmfull. also dont get you + & - mixed up or your rusty part will be eaten away!

What else can i use other than a 12v car battery charger? As i don't own one at the moment.

Cheers for the guide tho.

Here is an interesting artical in PDF format

Elecrolytic rust removal

This should help explain the basics & give a general idea of what is needed :)

you can use anything that puts out arround 12 volts, 2amps & is DC.

Where does everyone buy their washing soda from? I had a look in Tesco earlier and i couldn't find any.

Cheers for the help so far :D.

Soda crystals in the cleaning aisle of any supermarket.
