    Default Very good way to remove rust

    The reason this works is because mangoes contain citric acid which is also found in most fruit. Mangoes contain relatively little citric acid which is probably why so many are needed. The 6-8 mangoes could probably be replaced with one lemon.
    Thanks for that I will it try once the lemons are ready

    I reckon all fruit methods are messy. If you want the same effect with less mess I would use powdered citric acid from the grocery store or quicker still would be the $2/bottle cleaning vinegar from Bunnings.

    I'm not a fan of using any acid method of rust removal because if you forget about it the acid can eventually attack and pit the metal. I much prefer electrolysis, a bit more effort to set up but it cannot damage the metal.
