There are firms specialising in derusting/stripping whole car bodies (often expensive and fragile sports cars) by immersion in a hot caustic soda solution. Even with the heat and more agressive caustic soda it can take days for a good result, so I doubt the DIY method described by you would work effectively. I am anxious to try it on small parts, though!
