[AJD] Calcium Chloride in wheels, How to deal with it

[Chris C]

John and Steve,

   Thanks for the input.  One set of wheels are 42"
rear rims on an A,  the other are the rims on my 1950
AR.  
    I was hoping that I could find something that
would react with the calcium and draw it from the
metal,  I guess I will sandblast the heck out of them
and pressure wash and prime..  I just don't like doing
things twice.   Calcium must have been cheap up here, 
we have lots of rusted out wheels...

                   Chris
