  • My main passion is classic cars, so I have some experience of dealing with rust. As a newbie I thought I'd share something you may be interested in...* I have NOTHING to do with this company except being a satisfied long term customer.*

    I have used Deox in powder form when you have parts you can soak, eg engine & suspension parts, and the gel form on bits you cant easily submerge, like bodywork etc. Soaking parts for a few hours to overnight strips 100% of rust, and the gel applied and sealed with clingfilm for a day or 2 will do the same.

    The first time I used it was on my old garage vice, so I thought I'd post up some pics of the process and results. I think it will be perfect for bike parts and the gel on forks and frames.

    Before - 30+ years of rust

    Soaking in Deox C solution for about 3 hours

    afterwards - Deox C only

    I am pretty sure this stuff will make prep on old frames and parts a bit easier, and it doesnt need any special precautions to use it.

    I've not restored an old frame or bike yet so cant offer any examples but thought it might be something new for those of you working on those gorgeous old projects. They have pretty much the best rust prevention coatings as well, and the stuff is pretty cheap :)

    Hope its of some use...
