Unless you are using your time machine and getting a phosphate from the soda jerk in the drug store.

This is true.
My work - is a bloody nightmare. You can not look at it without tears.
Of course, I want to fix it. In anticipation of Saturday, I plan to buy fine sandpaper and polishing paste. On a day off (if it doesn't rain), I will try to remove the most terrible flaws. Of course, post pictures. But I do not hope for a great result. I am a simple philistine and picked up a brush for the first time in my life.

Not far from my house is the Pepsico plant.
I had a friend who works there. A couple of years ago, he used orthophosphoric acid, which he stole from the factory. Removed rust too.
It seems that in Russia they make cola using obsolete technologies. Or is it Pepsico so competes with Coca-Cola Co.?

People have used white vinegar, salt and flour made into a paste to remove rust.
Google it and you can find mixture ratios that people use.

Baking soda is different than Coca-Cola
Coke:
Ingredients
Carbonated water.
Sugar (sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) depending on country of origin)
Caffeine.
Phosphoric acid.
Caramel color (E150d)
Natural flavorings.
Yeah let me spray this on rust and then have to clean it off.

I think it’s more about the myth of coke as a rust cleaner

and a tooth dissolver! LOL!

If he WERE to use Coke or Pepsi, I would suggest torching the sugars off before painting - with a propane torch. But I wouldn't do it at all unless you just want YouTube hits...

Industrial chemicals and food chemicals are very different things
