I used a gallon ice cream bucket and put about a quart of vinegar in the bucket and added the parts and put the lid on.

Ok this is it about 3 1/2 days of soaking.  The parts came out very good.
I was suprised at how well this worked.  I am going to have to find a larger container for other parts I would like to do.  Nice alternative to media blasting.

Straight vinegar, just dump your parts in a bucket with vinegar and let the vinegar do the work for you.
i wish I would have tried this years ago.

Great Tip!  I have always used metal conditioner in the same way, but vinegar is a heck of a lot cheaper.
