I use white vinegar when maintaining my fishtank for it's acid cleaning properties. White vinegar has a higher concentration of acid so probably more effective for metal cleaning too.

Amazing. Vinegar is called Acetic Acid. For cheapskates you could always carry your parts to the local chippy, coat with their vinegar, wrap parts in old newspaper, walk home. Return every night until parts clean. No raw material costs.

For painted parts try and get hold of some Milk Stone remover. Comes in powdered form from farm supply shops. It doesn't affect paintwork and turns rust solid exactly the same as Ku-rust does at about a 3rd of the cost :y
