Biohazard
Whew....tough day at work today! It's a scalding 63 degrees out and decided to brave the heat and get my bucket seat tracks and sliders cleaned up. *and then post about it here, lol.
Wife's on her way up with some foo-foo coffee so I'll put some pics up whilst I wait.
Rust-wise, they don't look so awful. They just need to be scrubbed a bit and thoroughly degreased so the paint will adhere.
Created a bathtub with a box and a bag for the parts to soak in. Busted out some of the turbine engine flush to do the degreasing with. The gunk in the sliders is ancient!
Hot water rinse in the janitor's closet.
Then outside they went for an 'after-rinse' with my trusty ammonia and, in the direct sun, they'll be bone dry in 10 minutes. Love the southwest!
