Waste of money

Would Not Recommend

Have used several rust removal products through the years with good success until this product, terrible is an understatement. Have applied three times with little benefit. save time and money and leave this on the store shelf!

Outstanding Product

Would Not Recommend

This works very well at removing surface rust. I had a big expensive vice that had been accidentally left uncovered and had rust in all the parts. This product with steel wool removed it all. It looks like new

Does nothing

Would Not Recommend

Container issues

Works ok... The container is cheap, the cap, threads and seal are insufficient... it dried out... I would classify it as unsafe.
