You might want to pin this thread somewhere.
It took me 2 days and many attempts of methods to find a good one.
#1. Pour white vinegar into a bowl you think will cover the relic.
#2. Put the vinegar in the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes (until it bubbles alot)
#3. Take it out and drop the relic into the bowl and let sit for 2 hours.
#4. You can take a toothpick to scrape the sides of the relic to break flakes off or rust dust.
#5. Once it's been soaked for a long time, or you reheat and do it again, you can use a Wire Brush (once vinegar is cooled down) and scrape it and it will help it alot.
WARNING!!! The vinegar fumes hurt your eyes when hot, wear safety goggles. Only burns for a few seconds tho.
