Rusty rear seat spring cleaning

Post by Prarie dog » Fri Jul 02, 2021 10:58 am

Hello every one,
I am looking for suggestions to clean my rusty rear seat springs.
The large surface area and 3D construction offers some challenges.
Can they take a light sand or bead blasting and still regain their strength and Spring?
Would a chemical rust remover and some unknown time spent with a small brush be better?
Thanks
