Hello.
Recently I bought an OEM set of tools for my 2005 sv650 on EBay. They arrived promptly, but were somewhat greasy and a tad rusty. I left them overnight in a bucket of vinegar, next morning cleaned them up, wiped them dry and left them on top of my toolbox. To my surprise, the next morning they were rusty again, pretty significantly. I left them in a vinegar overnight again, wiped them clean and covered them in oil - bike chain lube, the only one I had on hand. Several hours later I looked at them and guess what - they started rusting again.
Anybody encountered similar issues? Do I need to use something other then vinegar to de-rust them? Different lube? Would WD40 work>
Thank you!
