Acids (including dilute acids such as vinegar) are reducers- they will corrode metals. Vinegar may cause accelerated corrosion while (due to high water content) also oxidising (rusting) metals which are prone to oxidation. To accelerate the oxidation of metals, you require a stronger oxidising agent. However, using a dilute acid may enhance the oxidation process in metals which galvanise. Some metals do not 'rust' as they develop a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxidising agents, or metal parts which can rust may contain or be coated with such a metal - types of steel, for instance. An acid may corrode the galvanising layer or metal, allowing the more vulnerable metal to continue oxidation.
