Re: Starting the overall replacement of front suspension today :-) drop time.
Hope I'm not high-jacking your thread here. I used your 15/10/2 "potion" on these. They're half the tiny parts I hadn't hit yet, and I added the battery retainer, because straight vinegar hadn't done the job.
I polished some of these up a tad, for pretty. The soda leaves a black coating, as seen on the washers and some of the threads, but no grime and no rust.
I put them in 50/50 vinegar and water, for maybe 13 hours, because I'm not yet comfortable leaving stuff in your mix over-night. Then I put them in the "Papa" mix, for couldn't have been more than 45 minutes.
What a difference. They were easy as heck to clean. Your timing was perfect, and I now realize I should have cleaned this stuff in bulk to begin with.
