I am trying something new I haven't done before, I am completing a 12 hour anti-freeze low temp soak of the thermostat housing on the stove in a super large pot for cleaning. Have no idea if is a hoax or not, if it doesn't clean up, going to have it powder coated too.

I use this.... comes out fantastic!

Not sure if it’s acidic or basic, it’s one of those because it interacts with the metal. Here’s how my suspension arms came out.

I asked about the acid because I wondered if it could be used for parts ON the car, of course, most anything will ruin the leaf springs, I will get some and use if for the parts OFF THE CAR while I can. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks Phil for the ingredients! BTW those suspension arms looks great!
