Dont use just citric acid. A far better mix is to use 100gm citric, 40gm of washing soda (tesco green bags) and a squirt of fairy liquid per 1L of water.
It is reusable many times. Doesn't turn the metal black. And doesn't etch the metal so much.
It is a similar solution to Evaporust.

Yup exactly those.
When mixing watch out for fizzing - loads of CO2 released.
You can use Caustic soda instead - no fizzing. Just more dodgy to handle.
30gm if using caustic per litre.
Not my invention sadly - bloke on Youtube did all the donkey work. It is actually better than Evaporust.

i was thinking if i cant submerge the whole part (crash bar off a car) would it help to soak an old flannel and rest that on a bit that wont dunk in the bucket? hoping i can each end one at a time
You can try - or make up a paste using something like xantham gum or even flour or wallpaper paste. Let us know how it goes!
