removing rust in hard to get areas
Decided to take a look at the G2 I picked up a couple weeks ago, thinking I bit off more than I wanted too, had to pull it out of the dirt with an suv wheels were locked up and flat, had too be there for 2/3 years I guess, pulled it in the garage and checked oil and drained old fuel an added new, put a battery in it and after about 30 seconds of cranking it fired right up, smoked a little not sure from sitting or maybe rings are shot.. didn't run it long, body is pretty bad, and frame a lot better than I expected, wired wheeled some and looks like the only real bad spot is the battery box, no big deal there, i'm looking for something I can use to clean the rust up in tight areas, any ideas? Thanks gentlemen..

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
A small sand blasting rig works great for tight corners.

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
I was @ Walmart the other day to get a can of sandable primer in auto body aisle and did notice there was a Rust-o-leum aerosol rust remover and I think a brush on remover. Aerosol was about 6 bucks I think. Actually, a couple of other makers of rust remover. Never tried any though.

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
Look into Por-15....it's actually a rust converter. In tight, hard to get to areas it may be just easier to cover it than remove it.

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
I use the small wire wheel brushes on a cordless drill and a toothbrush size wire brush for tight spots, then heavy primer and paint to cover. Not as good as sand blasting but works pretty well.

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
Thanks for the replies gentlemen, looking into some of the post here, I didn't realize there was so much on the market, all good ideas, Spriddle I seen one guy on a video mount a toothbrush like brush to a sawzall, worked pretty good too, another with white vinegar, I'll probably going to go with multiple ideas listed here, thanks again fellas.

Re: removing rust in hard to get areas
