If you can get your hands on it, 30% phosphoric acid is like MAGIC for cleaning rusty steel. I had an old meat cleaver that had a thick layer of orange rust all over it. Wiped it down with a paper towel soaked in the acid and gave it a rinse. Second wipe on the spots that didn't clean up first round, and another rinse. Done. Under two minutes total. Dip in a solution of baking soda to neutralize any acid residue, dry, apply a little oil to prevent the object rusting again.
Yoir heart dissolved OMG!
I use lye crystals mixed with water for everything...no need to soak it works in 5 mins.
for rusty tools battery acid from an old battery or sno bowl toilet cleaner-- for fuel tanks or mixed materials vinegar

Did you use Coke or Coke Classic?
Hell yeah brother
I thought rust removal was a reduction process, since rusting is an oxidation process
Bet you won’t drink the Coca Cola
