One more item that can be used for blue/rust removal is a product that I found in Home Depot. It is made by Klean Strip and is called Phosphoric Prep & Etch. Just like regualr blue remover (and Marty's toilet bowl cleaner) it is phosphoric acid and takes the blue and rust off a lot faster than naval jelly and with a whole lot less elbow grease. The one quart container was about $6.00. (Please follow the instructions and precautions.)

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for that.
I use about the same thing now.
Phosphoric Acid Cleaner from Lowe's, made by Aqua Mix Co.
In the ceramic tile department.
As you said, follow safety instructions.
After dipping stop the action with a dip in a baking soda/water mix.

Best, John.
