Jet Flow goes in for a cleanup

[Marc's Classic Chrome]

I am going to tackle this bad boy. A Western flyer jet flow circ. 1950s.



I will go with some citric acid and see how that works. I really like evaporust for Schwinn chrome but going to give this a shot. I tried it before and it was “ok” I hope this time is better.

I used the citric acid today on some wheels for my x53. They could not have turned out any better considering they're over 60 years old.

These are probably the best pics I have of the wheels. The rust was very thick and was super attached. It took several hours and lots of patience. I used a toothbrush and my fingernail to gently break the rust loose every 30 minutes or so.
