Save yourself a trip to the store by taking a look at what you have at home. You might be surprised what you can do with common household items.

Areo-Kroil does great by me.
Put some vinegar in a ziplock bag. Cover the stubborn part with the mostly full bag, zip it as far shut as you can (you could use a bread twisty tie to help anchor it on). Then (and this is the hard part!) just leave it on for a few hours. Rinse when done.

Probably could get detailed “How To” directions from Hillary or Webb.
I used some white vinegar and the Liquid Wrench a few minutes and..........after at least 18 months - it WORKS!
Tried both, it moved up and down so I turned on water, then pulled up and now I have to go dry my hair from its shower!
No more comments from the “experts, to “replace the faucet” that was practically brand new!
One more reason to love my brothers and sisters here at FreeRepublic!
BTW I met some of you at the Freeper Ball during the 2000 Innauguration a mere 17 yrs ago and want to wish you all a happy, blessed and prosperous New Year!

Another metal cleaning product I have learned to love is Metal Rescue.
Some toilet cleaners contain hydrochloric acid. It will quickly dissolve calcium. I’m not exactly sure what the problem is that you are having...but I recently had very poor flow/pressure in my shower. I took apart the valve (only possible after using the HCL), and there is a ‘cartridge’ in the mixing valve that was full of calcium deposits. I may have been able to clean it all, but the surefire way to fix it was buy another over-priced cartridge. Its also worthwhile to flush the valve body by having a partner carefully turn the water supply back on (be sure to devise a contraption to make sure the water makes it into the shower/tub, and not behind it). I even fished a tube through the shower head pipe and pumped HCL back down into the mixing valve. Anyway, toilet cleaner with acid will do the trick.
Luckily, I have the time and desire to protect my home and investment in all the money spent on its upkeep!
I have to listen to enough of the, “that part has to be replaced, it’s not made to repair” with my car, that I do not replace every two or three years (actually, years) because when I bought it, I loved it, why replace it just because new ones come out!
A painter showed me another solution for paint filling up the rim of a paint can. Use a very slim slotted screwdriver as a punch to put several holes in the bottom of the rim. 4-5 will do. That drains the paint back into the can and the lid still seals if you have leftover paint.
You don’t have to use a rubber band. I’ve always used a piece of painter’s tape about 3/4 of the way across the top. I already have the tape out so.....
