When I put out the flag today I noticed that the steel wall bracket is
rusting, in spite of this being Arizona, where rust is forbidden ;-)

Do I remember correctly that cleaning steel in a mild acid solution is
the best treatment to remove the rust, then prime and paint?

By a vinyl holder. Wife picked up 2 for less than $2 ea. Otherwise remove
the rust mechanically, finish up wiht some naval jelly, prime and paint.

Not worth the two bucks to me.
