[tlug] Rust Control

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

Not really directly Linux related but a sort of support question:

One of the main remaining problems coming out of the New Year's fire is 
rust formations on the heavy-duty chromed wire shelving I was using in 
my home office for printer and PC racks.  Got steel and brass wire 
wheels for the electric drill to remove the bigger stuff and some wipe 
on / wash off stuff to clean up, but it seems as though the de-rusted 
surfaces have to be primed and / or painted.  I am looking for a Naval 
Jelly type of product that contains dilute phosphoric acid (rin san or 
リン酸) and turns the previously rusted areas black and stabilizes the 
metal against future rust without a lot of other work or disassembly.

Anyone run into something like that in their local hardware store? I a 
not finding any references to any DIY product to handle this and the 
usual Amazon / Rakuten last chance suppliers come up blank. Everything 
seems to be a surface prep instead of a stabilizer.  If anyone has a 
brand name and, maybe the name of the store they got it from, please let 
me know.
