The acid and salt method does clean, BUT it is very corrosive. You need to wash it down thoroughly to get the last traces of it off. The stuff gets into wherever there are "pores" in the copper plating down to the steel chassis and rusts it. In the first wash have some baking soda to neutralize the acid of the vinegar. Then use plain water. I made a copper plated chassis rust badly by trying to shine the copper with salt and lemon, which works great on things like Revere Ware, which of course you can wash thoroughly when done.
