Been there, done that, may have a T-shirt somewhere ;-)
It works, BUT unless you dry the part straight away (and I mean within
minutes) and apply a passivating agent, surface rust appears on your
newly-cleaned steel with incredible rapidity.
My advice is its OK to use it on small parts that you can straight-away put
to dry in a warm oven (hope SWMBO does not read this) or dry with a hot-air
blower, but impracticable for body-shells, chassis, etc.
