What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this rust remover for its effectiveness on light to moderate rust, with most reporting quick, easy results that meet or exceed expectations. Many highlight dramatic transformations on tools, bike parts, and household items with minimal effort required. Reviewers consistently commend its ease of application, noting it is odorless and requires no special tools. However, customers note it struggles with heavy, baked-on, or pitted rust, often requiring additional scrubbing or mechanical intervention. A small group report it failed entirely, and a few mention container seal issues. Despite these limitations, most consider it reliable for typical household rust removal.

No labor required.
Would RecommendI needed to clean extensive rust from a manual drill more than 75 years old. I bought the container of Rustoleum and a wire brush. I returned brush to the store unused for a refund... letting the drill be submerged in the Rustoleum for a few hours was all that was needed.
Naval Jelly! It gets it DONE!
Would RecommendRust-oleum Rust Dissolver is good, old fashioned naval jelly. Apply it to metal with surface rust, let it sit a few minutes, and then scrub it off with some 0000 steel wool and your cast iron table tops and tools will look FABULOUS! It doesn't remove pits, but it will bring surface rust to it's knees.
