I'm working on period resto 79 Schwinn Spitfire. The bike was badly rusted and I dipped the entire thing in citric acid. Lucky for me all the rust and the paint came right off. Unfortunately I have rust pits to deal with now. To make a long story short I sprayed the inside of the frame tubes with WD-40 to prevent future rust. Three months later the bike is in filler primer and I am getting WD-40 leaching at the chainstay drainage holes and a few other areas. Can someone advise what I can do to clean up WD-40 from inside of the tubes?
I heard that mineral spirits (MS) removes WD-40. Maybe I can spray MS inside the tubes and have them drain out.
Any help would be appreciated.
