I remember seeing that just because an old can is rusted, doesn't mean it's no good. I leave some out there because you can't really read them. Going out today I'll keep some and post pictures of them, not all that interested in them, but somebody might be.

I'm impressed!!!
I've tried restoring rusty knives, tools and other things. Soaked them in WD and simular products, always fell apart. I don't see a lot but when I do. There your's. Giddy Up
I've had great luck with a QUICK (no more than 30 min - 1 hour) bath in CLR (Calcium Lime Remover). Lemon Juice is another way to do it, and I find it's less harsh on the graphics/colors.

I used lemon juice to clean up a cone top and was pleasantly surprised with the result
