I haven't done this yet, but has anybody tried using CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) for cleaning reg parts for rebuild?
I thought about it and can't see a reason why it wouldn't work. Instead of using a 50/50 mix of vinegar & water, I was thinking of trying a 10:1 mix of CLR and see if that works. I don't see why not.
I've used it on other metals and it doesn't seem to have any adverse affects and doesn't seem to be too strong to cause any damage. I removes scale, salts, rust & corrosion etc., and rinses completely clean.
I know this will lead to people telling me to just get an ultrasound cleaner but I'm trying to keep it simple and save money.
Any thoughts?
