[AT] Case Wheel weights/now rimguard

[Larry D Goss]

I think the beet residue is an anti-oxidant, Charlie.  I'm not familiar with 
the product Mark is asking about, but I have seen a product called 
Rustbeeter for sale at shows.  I suspect it is close to being the same 
thing.  I asked a cousin out in Colorado about the residue.  He's the "chief 
cook" on the sugar pan for GW at Fort Morgan.  He says all of their residue 
(beet molasses) gets sold for the expensive horse feed supplements you see 
at places like Rural King.  I've been tempted to buy a bag of that stuff, 
convert it into a slurry, and test its rust removal abilities.
