got 90% of the rust off my front nsuspension using a grin dong wheel and wire brush. can't get those hard to reach spots like corners, seams and such. used a half a dozen dremel bits. anyone know a good method. i can't get to a bead blaster right now and would like to finish.

Regarding muriatic acid (found at your local pool store), which is HCl, I would recommend phosphoric acid instead. It is less of a PITA to work with and turns the rust in to a sturdy black oxide instead. HCl eats away at the good steel as well. H2PO4 does not do as bad. If you want to know where to get the phosphoric acid, it is the key ingredient in most all rust converters; Ospho (a favorite), Naval jelly, Rust-mort, etc. I used Ospho on the outside of the cutter I was on in the Coast Guard. It proved itself in that environment.
