I guess, maybe, for parts like a gas tank that are large, you could probably put it in a hot heaven. I wonder if a steam cleaner would do that.

Reply #24 - 08/05/16 at 16:12:04 Dilute phosphoric acid turns iron oxide into iron phosphate. It's black. Available at Kelly paints. Ospho or Jakes maybe. About six bucks a quart. It goes a Long way. I get years out of one. I tried the gel once.. didn't like it. Liquid works great.

"You have a supercapacitor battery under the seat, or what?"

I have an Antigravity 8 Cell and the starter solenoid under the seat hump. Just enough room for those two along with the taillight and seat cowl latch set-up. Surprisingly works great and always at peak charge rate. It's 1/3rd the size of the typical battery. I didn't trust it at first because of the size difference...... I was wrong.

You have a supercapacitor battery under the seat, or what? I have the same battery. If I get motivated this winter I might try moving the battery box up and under the seat to hide it. Here's a size comparison to stock.
