Can hydrofluoric acid clean oil and stains on stainless steel pipes?

As shown in the picture, can this effect be achieved if only hydrofluoric acid is used? If not, what chemical raw materials should be added? Can you please tell me the process?

Although HF acid does not corrode stainless steel pipes, it is still recommended not to use it because it is toxic, highly corrosive, and highly permeable. There are many cleaning solutions online, you can refer to them below

To clean oil stains, organic solvents with good oil solubility should be used, such as chloroform, tetrachlorethylene, etc. Hydrofluoric acid cannot remove oil stains, but it can clean oxides on the surface of stainless steel. Those who say that hydrofluoric acid does not corrode stainless steel do not understand the characteristics of hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is the main acidic component used to clean stainless steel surfaces and etch stainless steel.

Whoever smashes the glass in our house, no one will do it, how will it be broken if no one smashes it, if it is broken by yourself, you will break it by yourself, you don’t know how, then it will still be broken, but if you don’t, it will still be broken.

You can use sulfuric acid + nitric acid + phosphoric acid, three-acid chemical polishing treatment

Cannot be used, 1. Stainless steel cannot be cleaned, pressure tested, etc. with liquids containing fluorine, chlorine, etc. 2. Similar and compatible, inorganic acids cannot clean oil.
