Used autosol and aluminum foil on a rusty pitted axe blade last night. Only gave it a couple of minutes on each side and it sure took off a ton of nasty brown stuff. It'll never get shiny, but thought this might be a good solution for cleaning grimy rusty tools. May have been more effective if I washed the grime off with Simple Green before using the foil.
By the way, we need a name for the technique of using metal polish with aluminum foil. I'm not creative enough. Foilishing? Pfoiling?

Well, we have "Scary Sharp", so why not "Blindingly Bright"?

[/blockquote] Years ago when I watched the baseball movie "The Natural" starring Robert Redford, Redfors told his batbgoy to go get a particular bat--becauuse it had been "boned". I didn't know what that phrase meant at the time, but I have since learned that it meant that somebody had rubbed the bat with a bone to compress the fibers---thus making it harder---thus resulting it a better hit. So, "Foiled" seems to fit. "This saw has been "Foiled" This saw was it bad shaped. But after a good "Foiling" just looked at it now. Honey, I'm going to spend the night in the shop "Foiling". I foiled this saw years ago and it tarnished up again, so I did it again, Yes, this saw has been "Foiled Again".

Hey Jack, you'll recognize this reference: "FIRE FOR EFFECT!" now you can use, "FOILED FOR EFFECT!"  .
