Etching cleaner for slots

[kaw550]

I am trying to clean up a set of slots.

I am using Eagle One Mag cleaner.

It works but not well enough. It says it is an etching cleaner. If I found something that etched a little more I could polish them and be done.

I tried one wheel and it required light sanding then buffing compound.


I figured there must be some hardware store chemical that will clean/etch without ruining them.

Any suggestions?

Go buy a truck stop or big rig truck wash and get some of the alum. acid they use on big trucks. works much better than than the waterd down eagle one stuff.

I think anyway you go your going to have to sand and polish. Etching cleaners do exactly that etch a little more and you'll defintely have to sand them to be able to polish them.
Might just by-pass the ecthing cleaner step go straight to sanding and polishing.

Soda blasting and a grandson with fine steel wool worked great for me.
