Volume of container larger, price smaller than the main competitions' product. Spray application is a distict plus, also.

Rust be gone!
Would RecommendThere were spots of rust in various places where metal furniture, pottery stands and whatnots had corroded. I just sprayed this on, waited 20 minutes and then scrubbed the spots with a little water, a brush and very little elbow grease. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.

This really worked.
I had a really rusty metal frame for an exterior light. I followed directions. I did it twice and it worked really well.

Use only in well ventilated areas.
Would RecommendI used it to remove rust on a couple of old handsaws. Worked really well had to do a little rubbing with some steel wool. Only on a few rough spots.

Actually works
Would RecommendI inherited a rusted Kobalt shelving unit. Surprisingly this fairly easily helped remove the surface rust with 2 applications and a wire brush in between. The directions say to keep the product/area wet. On one of the beams it definitely removed paint, but I think it's because I allowed it to dry. Surprisingly I would recommend this product.

Didn’t expect these results
Would RecommendAwesome rust cleaner. Surprisingly worked exactly as advertised on rusted bits and chisels. Very little effort required to remove 100 percent of the rust after soaking in the solution only ten minutes.

Removes rust stains from fiberglass boat hulls
Would RecommendUsed it to remove rust stains on my fiberglass boat, and it works as advertised. I used a small plastic brush to work it into the nonskid pattern on the decks. The gel consistency is a real plus for keeping the product in contact with rust on tilted or uneven surfaces, but it’s still thin enough to penetrate small cracks.
