I've used both on antiques that I've tried to restore and I've found that lemon juice works as well as anything. I usually let stuff soak overnight in it and it works pretty good

They aren't as good as vinegar or lemon juice. I am using more metal prep now (phosphoric acid base) and some soap to get rid of grease and oil.
