John, Brazing flux is also acidic, and like the plating solution, is the responsibility of the manufacturer to flush out, and then dry thoroughly. Frame Saver won't neutralize the acid,,, nor will WD-40 or any other petroleum based product. As I stated before, if the frame wasn't flushed thoroughly and dried, and if the residues from plating had already eaten part way through the tube,,, nothing would have saved the frame in question. This probably wasn't the only frame of that make the importer had to replace if the platers were careless.
