DIY: Artillery Restoration: Rust Removal Project

[@SolaFide802]

Thanks for the technique, I just picked up a set of 15” arts for my 38 Chevrolet sedan. I was using a drill and wire wheels removing too much material in addition to the rust. I am going to use your technique, less destructive for my 1938 artillery’s and I will apply this to rear quarter window vents I have on the way too. Thanks again

[@luisvega6043]

I am witness, I did it with my B2000 rims for 1 week and is unbelievable how it looks, 100% recommended.

[@cckailua]

I love that method. I have a couple of 1940 Ford wheels in the brew right now. I'm going 100% vinegar, it shaves off a couple of days. Years ago, I took some 36 Ford 3 window coupe doors and submersed them, came out great, inside and out.

[@reddrw1]

You should use the Vinagar 100%. After you rinse you must Neutralize the Vinegar.. Put the part in the tub again with clean water and a box of baking soda and let sit for 20 min...then rinse. If you don't the Vinegar will keep eating the part even though you rinsed it off..i been doing this for 10 years now....

[@warrior4777]

How long would it take to do the rim with straight vinegar? And how big of a box of baking soda? Thanx

[@55Rumble]

I was going to ask about using it 100%... Same as warrior... I'd like to know more details on duration and so on... Thanks in advance.

[@johnharrison698]

That is amazing can't believe just the acid in vinegar does a job like that going to try it thanks for the vid

[@williamboardman9476]

Brown painted rim....vinegar lifts the paint. Definitely does a good job. Glass bead cabinet...20 minutes....soft finish, all markings visible and un damaged...dry and ready for primer and paint....or powder coat.

[@peem1244]

Good job and good video. Don't throw the water/vinegar out, you can use it to kill the weeds in the garden/driveway. Keep up the good work.

[@obhenx]

Good technique, good ingredients, n good vibes!!... you're da man, bro!! lv u..

[@rolandobarreto8132]

Go Raiders! Raider Nation for Life. Thanks for the video.

[@wellnessforall6663]

This is awesome. This formula works. Thank you very much for sharing this secret with us.

[@stephenambrose2103]

Got to be a Wow for that. Nice video, great advice and result.

[@lostallmymirth]

I used a minimum amount of vinegar by placing the wheel into a heavy duty garbage bag wrapped tightly around the wheel and tied at the top. This also reduces evaporation.

[@joseminota7287]

.

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

Good suggestion, lostallmymirth. Why don't other rust-restorers use this method ? So far I have not seen others using it.

[@JNaysh]

This is so unbelievably smart, Im trying to derust a propane tank and I was in despair about the amount of vinegar I'd need but this makes it feasible now! Thank you

[@robojoe58]

Would this work with painted over (Rust oleum Rust Reformer) rust, take the paint and the rust off?

[@xmoroseguyx]

Chuck gravel in with the rim to save a bottle of vinegar

[@anthonylacy4064]

Dang!! That is impressive!! Thanks and i5 will try it out. How do you seal the metal from fusting again? Clear coat.?

[@Mr.Deko86]

Hell yeah!!! That was satisfying. Lol. Thank you for the video.

[@NayNayNV]

I'm making a cowboy cooker and have a rusty plow disk that I put in a pan of distilled vinegar. I can rub my finger across is after 4 days and the rust rubs off and I see black steel. No grinding so no grinding off metal. I will leave it soaking for another 3 days and then take it to the carwash and pressure hose it clean to get the vinegar off. This plow disc was rusty AF and I don't own a grinder so I believe I will be able to clean it off with a wire brush. I didn't think it would work but after watching this video I figured why not try a cheap home remedy. Cheapest place to buy distilled vinegar is Walmart or if you have Foods 4 Less in your area. Less than $4 a gallon or the 2 pan at Sam's Club or Costco is dirt cheap. Thank you.

[@ralphbenites1312]

Wow 😯 amazing.saves a lot of time.

[@maltatravel]

can i keep my tyer on the wheel or will it get damaged after a week of being in the vinegar?

[@DavidSanchez-cj1ei]

After you took it out of the tub and washed it off it didn’t get surface rust ?

[@nailahpennington]

Nice! Purple Power works immediately

[@davesmith-ew1iz]

Just wondering have you actually tried that .what is the process? How long did it take thank you

[@marcos22571]

What did u put on it to make it shine before you painted it because it looked like you put a coat of finish.

[@terryoldham5560]

Have you tried this method with Chrome Rims? Was just wondering if the vinegar would hurt the chrome .

[@youandiryan]

Do not do this with chrome rims. You can and will permanently destroy the finish. It should only be done on steel rims. There will be a chemical reaction and it could make the chrome fall or flake off.

[@55Rumble]

Thanks for this video... How simple is that and without having to grind, sand, scrub the rust off! As has been said before, I'd like to know about using the vinegar at 100%???

[@obbzerver]

Don't soak any ferrous metal in acid due to hydrogen embrittlement. That wheel won't do you any good if it breaks under load. There are other products specifically made for rust removal or get a blasting cabinet.

[@bigotestoo]

500 hundred hatters and climbing!! This is awesome bro! Go Raiders!

[@brandonion5647]

Safe for chrome?

[@HerewardDundasTaylor]

I'm now going to submerge the chassis of the Classic 1955 Series 1 Landrover I bought today in vinegar!

[@jamesdickson3616]

Good shit mate you got it well done

[@robertschauer4281]

so what do u recommended putting on the wheel or piece that one would be working on. is there a bear metal sealer one would use to protect the metal before paint or powder?

[@zeke6319]

That was beautiful. I've heard about vinegar doing the trick but seeing is believing.

[@totheknee]

I get what you're saying with "No chemicals necessary!," but it's still very difficult to refrain from further commenting on it! Awesome video, btw.

[@dooseyboy]

Is it removing paint as well? Any recommendations? Should I remove paint first before doing something like this?

[@specialized29er86]

After the process does the metal flash rust straight away or do you have some time before the coating process can begin.

[@josecalleja5650]

Can I do this to a chrome wheel or will the chrome peel off ?

[@vicferrari9380]

Anywhere the rust creeps under the chrome it Will flake off

[@TheCatoLee]

This works with all rusty iron parts. Can heat up the water, and use a fishtank-bubbler to keep the water moving to increase time. Great vid! Dont forget to wash thourogly and treat bare metal fast, tends to rust quicker after this treatment. I use baking soda water to neutralize the acid..

[@pureinnaturesgarden4067]

Do you pour baking soda water on the bare metal?

[@TheCatoLee]

Pure in Nature's Garden When using vinegar does not really require the baking soda if you wash well with water. But mixing baking soda will neutralize all azids

[@veneciaphillip4108]

I was in ultimate shock.😲😲😲

[@haleyrobertson7528]

If I we're to do like 1/4 water 3/4 vinegar is it safe enough to remove the rust faster than 7-8 days?

[@mr.brickhead4955]

Can u use the vinegar twice

[@SteveRatAlbert]

It's only $2 a gallon. I wouldn't.

[@cckailua]

I've had a vinegar tank going for month, that shit was filthy but parts always came out clean.

[@drizler]

MR. BRICK HEAD Sure you can. I pour mine through a paint strainer, even a colander works. It’ll be dirty looking and smelly but just dump in the jug and stash away. Electrolysis though is oh so much faster and much cheaper.

[@appliancedude63]

Yes you can. You can keep adding vinegar to it. Once your done pour it on the weeds. Makes a good weed killer.

[@piratepete-thetruthisforevery1]

That rim looks galvanized... and the rust looked like paint peeling off of it...

[@brucehester3574]

@Tabourba That DOES look like the paint peeling off of the steel!! Not rust. Look at the first large pieces the he peels off, they are FLEXIBLE, obviously not rust, since rust is brittle! The best way to restore rusted steel and iron (think cast iron pots, skillets, etc) is to use a 12v battery charger, a plastic tank (like 55 or 60 gallon drum half, or whatever the item fits in...), washing soda, and a iron or steel electrode... this works like plating, but is actually doing something like reverse electrolysis of the rust...

[@sigmanfloyd7179]

What do you spray on it afterwards to protect it cause it'll start rusting again right away correct? Thx.

[@olivedrabgarage6243]

The catch is cleaning afterwards...it flash rusts immediately and the rusty water stains EVERYTHING. You need to be careful with vast parts too as it’ll eat into the metal.

[@jimmyblade92]

Bravo!!!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@vincekaser4441]

in my experience electrolysis or the works toilet bowl cleaner are a lot more effective, but in any of them you will need to add a flash rust inhibitor such as wd-40, or baking soda, etc, and be sure to have adequate ventilation

[@jakespivey3716]

never seen this before, cool trick, thanks

[@c50ge]

I also like the electrolysis method.

[@TheBishop12]

Why 50-50? wouldnt you want the full strength of the vinegar to eat away every single rust particle?

[@topiado2073]

Is that really works sir?? Please

[@sterlingstreamliner]

Thanks for the inspirational video. I'm currently doing same using 4 gals of Heinz vinegar and equal parts 4 gals of water. 8 gals is enough at 50/50 mix for one 15" steel wheel in 16-1/2" plastic tub. My plan is 1 week per wheel. x4 = 1 month. In response to other comments below, both vinegar and Oxalic acid will do this. Difference is Oxalic acid is a nasty chemical to pour into drain afterwards. Vinegar is more environmentally-friendly. Make sure not to leave steels items immersed for too long as the solution will eventually eat the metal completely. Suggest 1-2 weeks should be all you need. Immersion of more than 1 month could damage the metal. Soaking / rinsing in baking powder or other neutralizer is also a good idea. Cola will also react in a similar way. Vinegar seems to be best choice. I used 3 x 1.32 gal. jugs from Costco. Cost was $2.99 ea. or $9. for 3 jugs.

[@tjmiani]

YOU HAVE DONE GREAT BY SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

[@whiptail-]

going to try on my camaro rims now!

[@CHixon]

I have two wheels that were done this way but were never neutralized and painted afterward. They are a disaster, might be ruined. Will try to save them because they are rare and expensive.

[@ravebrave8866]

sir I have a honda brio inside door edges are rusted what would you recommend, please help me..

[@nipunsharma9760]

Rustoleum rust remover

[@PaddleDogC5]

You can use acidic masonry cleaners to descale metals fast. Just watch your eyes.

[@bigbawsz2054]

Damn bro thanks for this I’m restoring my 69’ c10 and the rims are like yours but I’d say a little bit worse I’m gonna buy a kid pool and fill it up with vinegar

[@spo5egy]

Add molasses as well it's great!

[@doneadiizua76]

If I have to listen to music I rather go to a music channel and listen all day.

[@rodneybrand8521]

Will it harm chrome ??

I need to find a big enough tub to put my VW Splitty in! 😅

[@hmoudahamid4431]

[@c50ge]

Plastic 55 gallon drum cut down to size. Maybe a 35 gallon plastic would do.

[@ayshadomain9157]

Can we use this liquid in a spray gun for bike with Aluminium Foil For Scrub ? Reply me Sir :)

[@michaelmixon2479]

Very impressive!

[@oldboy128]

I've seen videos of people using baking soda after removing rust with vinegar. Why?

[@hindsight2022]

Otto Teixeira it stops the oxidation process and prevent future rust from the vinegar

[@danmack8728]

Neutralizes the acid in the vinegar, the bare metal can still rust.

[@thomaswashington5888]

That is amazing! Can't wait to try it!

[@R1fanatic112]

A week lol.. so if i want to do all 4 wheels i need 4 tubs & 16 gallons of vinegar & wait a month.

[@xNeFShARkx]

You do realize that you math is off right? Because if you are going to do the 4 wheels at the same time, then you need to wait only a week and not a month.

[@R1fanatic112]

xNeFShARkx I actually didn't untill you pointed it out. I stand corrected:)

[@xNeFShARkx]

How do you still stand correct?? Wtf????? If you are going to use 4 tubs then thats mean that you are going to treat all 4 wheels at the same time! So, because of this you will only need to wait a week and not a month!!! You are still wrong.

[@R1fanatic112]

xNeFShARkx I said i stand correcTED. That means you corrected me.

[@xNeFShARkx]

Oh, dam I've read it too fast haha. I saw correct, instead of corrected haha

Well then! You did that man!

[@coolmusic1579]

Can you reuse the 50/50 vinegar solution?

[@vicferrari9380]

Yes

[@jamespinckard4210]

Think I will try this on my 46 chevy.

[@pmessinger]

Waste of vinegar and water. Just vinegar, by itself would have been better in half the time. Also, that extra 3-4 inches of depth is wasted water and vinegar. Better be ready to paint as soon as it dries. That clean surface is ready for primer/paint or rust; whatever gets there first.

[@johnchristensen3030]

Looks like there is still some rust, for the money and time a small sand blaster could do 4 wheels in a day then rinse with some phosphoric acid and water then prime.

[@obbzerver]

And no risk of hydrogen embrittlement.

[@brightspark54]

4in a day my blaster does 4 in an hour

[@bosilpasar33]

Blaster equipment, blaster sand, = $$$$$$

[@hinrei1986]

Hi power laser will do the job as well, if you manage to borrow 1.

[@justbeinghonest1]

I’m going to my moms house to steal her vinegar lol

[@gbowne1]

Somewhere in that pile of rust is a date code stamp I forget where they usually put it but I thought that was cool. I am doing a 49 3100

[@johndoe-wh6td]

What!! That’s awesome

[@MrJoey1970]

vinegar works good don't it Ive been using it for years to clean tools and things and if you add a little salt it works even better.

[@hera7409]

You mean add salt to vinegar?

[@rubenflorenc6633]

Guauuu, it's incredible,,, thanks for the tip...

[@amanial_toubeh7123]

Somebody tryed his way?

[@chancebernard4311]

Nice that is an awesome way to remove the rust that's for posting

[@kindcreature-pr5ei]

Good as new.

[@olivedrabgarage6243]

And that’s not rust coming off, that’s the paint underneath the dirt and surface rust...now you’ve exposed the fresh metal you need to spray it in a phosphoric acid to stop it flash rusting.

[@KajanLakhan]

Use the P-laser to remove rust.

[@minnereric]

Ka L where can you get one

[@fernyflores7374]

do you think coca cola would work on a rim?

[@michaelpressley9939]

Muriatic acid would have done the same thing in a few hours instead of a week......as with any acid, including vinegar,.... you should use a plastic tub.

[@chelondaler2054]

thankyou saved me 5bills on a set of 4...

[@HobbyHillsVideos]

Vinegar is an acid so it would work.

8 times 4, 32 days just to get the rust off, I don't think so.

[@classkhan9520]

does the price of vinegar less then buy a secound hand wheels like that
