[Ste]

I'm sure you've all seen this question a 100 times but can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent size tub,I've been looking for ages and even tried to nab the plasterers tub of site,thanks

 Use a cheap paddling pool and add some weight(filled bottles )to reduce the amount of water needed.

Im with Jaymz, much cheaper to get a paddling pool. And citric acid is much more user friendly 

[Ste]

Excellent thanks for the advice fellas,I'm in east Anglian Ben so long way from you but thank you all the same.also can someone give me a quick list of the items I need and amounts to use etc,this is a first for me :-))

Dont know about OA quantities but i used 350g of citric acid on the trickstar. Just give it a light scrub once or twice with a toothbrush while its in there. Think i left mine 24 hours-ish 



before



And after



Its so safe you can drink it, so no dead seagulls on your hands

The stronger the solution the quicker it works. If you can be arsed you can tip it in old 3 litre bottles and keep it for another time if you have alot of rusty bits. Ebay has quite a few sellers selling various quantities of it much cheaper than wilkos i imagine

[Ste]

Wow that's great my parts are not as bad as your trickstar was so I should get a good result,did you autosol or polish up after at all?im guessing most supermarkets etc sell citric acid?heres my first hit of parts looking foward to having a pop at them over the weekend

From that pic it hardly looks like you need bother. Just a few rags and some peek polish perhaps. 
autosol is a touch coarse for a high polish chrome finish and can leave fine swirls
Citric acid is generally only available online and at brewing supply shops. Wilkos do it cos they have an ickle home brew section

Ste - just come round fella and use the bath in me bathroom.


Me missus doesn't mind anymore 

Also don't wang the Profile axle in there - it'll go a wierd frikkin colour and lose it's coating.

Butterworths in town (down The Traverse) sell big old bags of Citric, like Clint says though - cheaper on eBay.

I used the kitchen bin and did half the frame at a time.  I also used Citric Acid though so I could leave it in there and not worry about bits going yellow.
