Is it normal that where the rust was that its black and textured? Is it also normal that the rust just doesn't "fall off" and requires rubbing?

I just use some today, and you do have to rub it sometime to get the rust to come off. I have seen the metal turn black and some time metal gray when the rust was removed. I love this product, it just saved me some tools that had gotten wet and rusted badly. I thought I was going to have to throw them away but it saved them. Well worth what I spent when I saved my Harley Davidson gas tank that rusted inside when it sat to long.

I used it to clean out a motorcycle tank during the summer and I cleaned the tank the best I could before filling the tank. I also let the tank sit in a 90 degree workshop for a full week shaking the tank every day. When I was finished the liquid had turned black but the metal was clean. I immediately dried out the tank and coated it with a commercial coating. I did not have to do any rubbing or sanding.

I have had one for two months outside ,and I would recommend that you seal the seat screw holes with possibly a caulk or rust prevented (Rustolium ) as this is the only criticism I have of this chair.I found that within a week or so,rustmarks were appearing. I have already bought a second one and will be certainly be doing that. The paint finish is probably a polyurethane finish ,that would be just a guess!

I believe the black part is not metal. The rest is metal. I've had mine for a couple years and have yet to see any rust or tarnish on it.

No my didn't have any rust. I would return it if I were you. There should NOT be any rust in or on it at all! Good luck.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.

It isn't rusting and mine is outside day and night. I wipe it off maybe once a week from leaves and all. Still looks new.

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

I've had mine since November 2013 and I have not seen any rust, I also haven't rolled over any puddles. So far so good.

It appears to be black....possibly enamel or non stick. I have used mine daily without any difficulties and cannot imagine it rusting easily.

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

Yes it rusts, as it is steel. You could say over time it develops a patina. I wipe mine down with a damp cloth, then wipe dry cloth and oil lightly with vegetable oil.

We live in Florida, so it is humid here too. So far it has not rusted at all. It is working out for me.
