Oxcalic or Citrus

[sgramling]

Hi All,
I found the pictured can many years ago and have always been afraid to clean it.
It's got a good degree of sentimental (and sedimental!) value for me and if I ruined it I would be heartbroken.

From reading it seems like Oxcalic is the way to go. I just wanted to ask for a little professional advice before proceeding..
Does this can look like it will benefit enough to make the risk worth the payoff? I've never done this before.

Thanks,
Steve

i think a little oxcalic will do the can wonders,,,,,,,, start with cool to warm water? and use a soft tooth brush ,,in a non metel bucket and you will be amazed what an hour or so will do,,,
