    I can personally attest that ATF is indeed the superior rust cutter. I just lather it on raw. Haven't tried cutting it with acetone.

    The only bad part it degrades fast so only mix what you need.

    Kinda why I like my Kroil and it smells nice as well.

    Storebought rust cutters are underwhelming IMO. Why not use some leftover ATF in that jug you got laying around? Heck yea. Good idea.

    Just what in the ATF is the secret ingredient?

    Will it work just as well if it is used?

    Outside of the power steering I have no use for ATF.

    I may try a blend of ATF, Marvel Mystery Oil and acetone.
