Sup larptread,

I have this nice and lovely set of armour, which despite my not-all-too-dedicated efforts to keep it clean has started to develop some rust after two years. It's nothing serious, just rust spots on scratches and in crevices. I heard tossing it in cola will clean away the rust. However, half the pieces of armour have leather straps attached, and the helmet has a cloth padding on the inside. How bad is it for these pieces to be soaked in cola? I'm not afraid of discolouration, but I would prefer my helmet not to be sticky and smell of cola forever.

Pic obviously not mine.
