Re: [FWDLK] Rusty plastic?



    Oxalix acid will dissolve rust stains very gently just by soaking.  May take a week or two.  It is used to remove rust stains from antique fabics, so you know it is pretty easy on stuff.  Can be purchased (ordered usually) through a pharmacy.  Comes in crystalline form and you mix with water to the desired strength.

Subject: [FWDLK] Rusty plastic?

Any suggestions as to how to remove rust stains from clear, front parking light lenses?  these stains are on the inside of the lenses, both sides;  and both lenses are in MINT condition - except for the stains. My low mileage 300F convert. sat in a moist garage for a couple decades,  and water seeped around the housings, into the lenses.  I'd like to save them and reuse them, as they are original to the car.    I have tried soaking in water, scrubbing with various kitchen cleaning stuff and soft bristle brush, all to no avail.  Don't want to use too harsh an abrasive or too hard a brush so as not to scuff up the plastic.  Anyone dealt with this before, or knows what specific stuff will dissolve rust stains?
 
Thanks in advance
