Have you heard of using wood ashes? Seriously :o) The combination of
the mild abrasive and potash in the ash make it a good rust remover
(it's also great for dirty pots too). You need dry ashes, though. Rain
will wash the potash away.

The main issue that I understand with concentrated PV, is that it works
much better in the desert. Any moisture in the air diffuses the
