For citrus-solvent,
locally Goo Gone [Pro] is the best source for me.
(says "citrus solvent" on the label.
The original Goo Gone may have had other ingredients)
About $6/Quart.
For red iron oxide rust conversion to inactive black;
phosphoric acid can be used.
I'd dilute it way down to slow the reaction.
I understand that Ph.Acid -combines- with the rust
and results in a protective layer.
Phosphoric acid can be found pure & mixed.
Look for BirchwoodCasey Blue & Rust Remover
in gun supplies everywhere.
In building supplies, it's used to clean off morter & grout from brick/tile.
NOT Muriatic acid (hydrochloric) sold for same purpose.
Coca-cola contains phosphoric acid if you don't get it elsewhere.
Defizz soda to remove the dissolved carbon dioxide
which makes carbonic ? acid.
I think Naval Jelly contains phosphoric acid.
A few drops of dish soap in any water solutions
on a degreased blade
makes for happiness by helping avoid splotches.
