I also heard that the soda "coke" will eat rust away, but that might also eat the chrome away!

Oh my granddad used to use Coke to take the rust off bike handlebars... but then he said that Coke changed the formula of the soda back awhile ago and it no longer works.
We inherited an old cast iron dutch oven that was so rusty I thought we'd probably have to junk it but decided to try the coke soak. We put the dutch oven and lid in a large granite kettle and covered it with straight coke (think it took 6 2 litre bottles) and let it soak for about 3-4 days and all the rust was gone when we took it out. Dutch oven was a little pitted but not bad and that was prob from the rust not the coke. That's my only experience with coke.
