Remove Old Oil And Rust Without Removing The Paint... Any Ideas

[Uwe]

Folks, please take a moment to update your LW profile so we can tell where you are located at! Don't make us guess and recommend products you can't buy.

All most every one, on every different forum use nickname (at least the can).

I can follow if someone don't wish to add their portrait to their profile.

I understand members don't live their address and phone number to their profile (at least that attracts sales persons).

But can somebody lightning me up a bit, why would it be wishful to cover your region or country ?

Interesting enough I was looking at Coca Cola labels recently to see if it still contained ortho-phosphoric acid, but found no mention of that.

Ended up buying a bottle of the supermarket brand that stated on the label that it had the acid there, and it worked fine for the parkerizing project I was interested in.

It gave stainless steel a nice grey with a hint of olive drab.

Kerosene in WD40 (or pure, by itself) should not remove paint, only old oil.

The rust spots coming through the paint would not be removed by any chemical known to me without complete stripping and repainting.

hyttogpine, it's helpful to know where someone is from when offering advice and/or help, because there are many products that, while common in one country (the USA in particular) aren't available outside that country. For example, Johnson's Floor Wax is widely referred to on model-making forums, shooting forums, woodworking forums, just to name a few, but it is impossible to get here in Australia. DuPont Teflon spray is very popular amongst motorcyclists for lubing chains, but again it can't be bought here.

If we know where a member is from, then hopefully information can be given that is relevant to that person.

0000 steal wool and kerosene.

Normally paint only comes off if there is rust underneath and that is unavoidable.

The pictures may not be showing everything but mostly what I see there is oil staining.

@dikman

I oncs again realize my poor English that leads to misunderstanding.

My two last lines was meant as: can somebody explain to me, some reason why members hide (cover) their country/region.

[dikman]

My apologies, hyttogpine, it was my interpretation that was wrong. And don't feel bad, I was told by my language teacher, many many years ago, that English is actually the hardest language to learn, so you're doing well.

I, too, wonder why some don't include their country .

@ hyttogpine - don´t worry I sometimes even don`t understand what some native English speaking member are writing - must be the difference in grammar. And I´m also sure my grammar is not always correct, too. We all are learning something here - hopefully.

There's no point someone should have to disclose his/her location. If a person feels a need for it he/she can will or does it. If a brand isn't available in whatever country that may be sad, but no reason to disclose the location to every yahoo on the internet. Those in a desperate need to know can ask... the moderators and the admins will be able to identify it by the persons IP if it isn't hidden, masked or spoofed...

If a certain brand isn't available in a certain country there's usually a good reason in the cause of DuPont Teflon spray the reason may be that GT85 is providing the same effect.

Other reasons in regards of a product may have to do with environmental and health related reasons... and so on. So just because one can't get a specific brand it doesn't mean there isn't an equivalent to that in the persons country.

So back to the location. When you guys signed up here you probably noticed mandatory fields and non-mandatory fields. Disclosure of a location isn't mandatory and even though it may be helpful at times it's solely up to the individual whether he/she wants to disclose it or not. In my case, the relevant persons know where I'm from and where I am at the moment. For all others - it's not in their business.

[hyttogpine]

So to people who don't know from where you are or been at the moment, are irrelevant people.

I was actually not asking if is legal or not, for members to cover, from witch contry the work.

This was all ready clear to me.

I was asking of some ideas - based on reasoning - why someone disclose their locations.

We are all learning something here - hopefully.
