Will it remove rust?

If you want to remove rust... believe it or not,,, Coca Cola will to it! The phosphoric acid in Coke is what does the removing but it's very weak in comparison to something like "Rust Mort" (a SEM Products brand) which is MUCH stronger. It chemically changes "iron oxide" to an "iron phosphate" which will look black, white or gray and may take 3 to 4 applications to 'get it all'. I find it works MUCH better that Naval Jelly ever did!

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

The box doesn't mention rust. Look on their website for FAQ. FYI, Naval jelly removes rust really well.

It will remove surface impurities. If you have some light corrosion or tarnish on the outside, then yes, some heavy polishing will take care of it. If the level of oxidation is too high, then the rust will have eroded and made pits in the metal. There is no helping that level of damage short of grinding away the surface completely.

I tried all sorts of rust removers on some rust on a ceramic tile bathroom floor...under a slowly leaking toilet tank and a rusted bolt. This is the only thing that I found that took the rust out of the tile! I love this stuff.

it should work, but you would have to use a stiff brush to get the product down into the pores of the pavers. and use the stiff brush again to scrup and rinse out the rust. it may take several applications. i don't know about the color, but it did not affect the paint when i used it on metal.

Yes, unless the rust has already pitted the surface. If the rust has already ruined the sur surface, you will see some variation. But it will clean it up.

Sorry it took me so long to get email. I think it would possibly remove rust off concrete. I would wet it down then apply iron out. let it sit.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

It might work if you are trying to remove a small rust stain from a bobby pin or bbs. My recommendation is do not let acid sit very long on the vinyl. I purchased it to use in a plaster pool and it worked well.

It worked on regular stains and smudges. Never tried it on rust. Send an email to the manufacturer. The company has been around a long time, so they should know. Good Luck!

No it won't. Even a brush won't. Depending on the type of rust / stain, it must be removed by chemical treatment .

Yes it will oxidize and No it will not rust. Great stuff. I have it on the roof of my home in Seattle. What you should know is this is birth control for the green stuff trying to grow on your roof but it is not going to remove it. I have it every 6 feet going across my roof and I removed all of the green stuff first and it is working great and keeping it clear.

No, if you want to prevent the problem from worsening you must remove all the existing rust and then patch with bondo.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.

I do not have an answer for future prevention of flash rust, except I don't believe it will work for future flash rust. For future prevention, I always wipe mineral oil on then wipe it off with a cloth.

Yes. It will remove anything thats on metal. Even works on powder coats and bedliner. Probably also works on undercoats.

Yes. Just make sure that you rinse it off and dry it when you're done. The water will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust if you leave it wet outside of the water.

As far as I know, Sonax does not remove rust; it is designed to remove brake dust and other contaminates which can discolor your wheels. I suppose that there would be no harm in trying to remove rust with it, however. I can vouch that it is a great product for its intended purpose, so it would not be money wasted.Jeff

The can instructions do not mention rust but according to 3M Tech Support this product will remove rust from brakes.
