During this thread I have been told that oxalic acid will attack aluminum. has anyone experienced this?
Incidentally, I used some Dow Scrubbing Bubbles to try to remove the accumulated crud from the hub. I sprayed it libererally, then used an old toothbrush to scrub around the little details, then rinsed it off. Examining after, I saw that it only removed about 35 years worth of the 50+ years worth of crud on the insides of the hub flanges, but the spokes that got brushed were all clean and shiny. We may have something here.
Thanks
Tony Taylor

I've used it extensively with great results. Can be bought as wood bleach at your local hardware or paint store or in pure form from chemical supply places.
