Today I acquired...........

[brewdexta]

Its not citric acid based, its calcium based according to there spec sheets and many more are moving to calcium based due to environmental constraints.

I was regurgitating what others had said on this forum, other forums and reviews without checking that is was citric acid and various chelates. It doesn't actualy state its full composition anywhere. However it is acidic, according to this safety spec sheet, a 1% solution has a ph of 3.5 to 4% and they recommend between 5% and 20% for the powder.

Anyhow, I use the Deox-c gel on awkward/big parts that I can't get in a bucket, citric acid on stuff that I'm not too worried about the finish and want to save cash on and I'm liking Evaporust for parts where you want to be nice and gentle. Works for me.

...citric acid and various chelates.

There seems to be quite a few of the chelating types on the market now. Evaporust is the most well-known. MC-51 also.

I've acquired a little bit of micro spot corrosion on some supposedly 18/18 high end stainless steel shower / bathroom disable persons support arm bracket , other fittings & some stay bright steel lockers & cabinets inthe bathroom.
Anyone know how to dissolve it back to clean metal & prevent more happening?

How did you get on?

Not done anything yet as I've had a few enforced duvet days due to shoulder & spine probs kicking off again.
