Cost more than the forks!!!!!   :P

Started job: covered in T-Cut - Just using wife's toothbrush, sorry love!  :)

well, not bad!

more impressed with T-CUT really, It shifted the major parts of the rust. Then used the coke and foil to get into the small pits...







what do u think  ???

Looks like a pretty good effort to me mate :daumenhoch:

It's not the nicest stuff to have hanging around but I reckon an OA bath then autosol is just about spot on for this job.  Coke n foil defo works but some parts of frames can be a right pain in the hole to get at and the OA takes a lot of the early legwork out of the job.  Autosol is the best thing in the world ever though - its amazing what it can make respectable again...might try some on the Mrs  :LolLolLolLol:

Looks good. Get a polishing mop on them just to finish it off.
