    I forget exactly what the Kleen strip is, thinking 47.5% I have diluted it 1:1 Was kind of hoping he got into the use of the hand sanitizer, Alcohol and acid might be some type chemical reaction that helps it out??

    Rust Repair and overall restoration

    I've used it. Phosphoric acid based but you can use Kleen-Strip prep and etch from the hardware store with a less fancy price tag, also phosphoric acid. Ospho is also phosphoric acid based. I'm not a tremendous fan of any of these products other than it's better than using nothing.

    No Brakes!!! Dangerous ride home.

    Good, next time beat the hell out of the brakes a half dozen times to see if you can get the proportioning valve/safety to kick in, it would have shut off the rears for lack of pressure and you would have rode home on fronts with little issue. If something on the front lets loose it will shut...
