Not in itself but your ability to mix to the strength you want is a big advantage in vinegar. Got something heavily rusted? Add a bunch of crystals. Something delicate? Use fewer. Its cheaper (5# for $20 delivered from Amazon has lasted me 8 years.) and doesn't smell as strongly. Mixed strong (say 8 tsp per gallon) citric is more effective than regular vinegar. There is a "cleaning vinegar" that would probably match... -Curt

You could use evaporust (or other similar) which will work faster but costs significant $$. -Curt On Monday, June 22, 2020, 10:10:46 PM EDT, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Ground away rust. Here after roughly 24 hours and multiple naval jelly applications. Will let it sit another night with the naval jelly. Tomorrow it’s getting 2 coats of POR-15.
