I picked up some Naval Jelly today and spent the rest of the day getting the rust off. The instructions on the bottle say to rinse off the jelly with fresh water. I used a bucket of water and some wet rags to wipe off the jelly, dried off the frame, and then went over it again with another wet rag.

Is this enough to "neutralize" the acid? It's been a couple hours and the frame has been coated once with carnauba wax. If the acid wasn't neutralized or diluted, will there be long term effects on the steel? Am I being paranoid, or should I go back and use more water?
