How to remove RUST

By a strange coincidence and directly related - I had to take an angle grinder to the works loo not so long ago... ;-)

Would this work on the black bumpers of a RR Classic '92? Obviously the paint would come off as well, but the rust areas have recently started to look like a raised, lunar landscape and I was wondering whether to attack them with a wire brush or something like the above product.

Have you tried the rust remover from Machinemart don't say owt in case they are listening and bung the price up but its an etching primer as well I found out about it from a group test in Practical Classics £3.50 a litre it fizzes when you put it on Derek

I'm sure i had some of that and it didnt work very well at cleaning my toilet!....

Is your toilet made of steel and rusty?? if not, that might be why it didn't work ;-)

Doorbell:

Concrete cleaner is typically muriatic acid which is a weaker form of HCl. Phosphoric acid is used for rust removal and is commonly referred to as "Naval Jelly". It works by converting rust (Iron Oxide) to a water soluble phosphate compound producing an alkali metal salt.

Always completely dry area before applying primer and finish.

Phosphoric acid is not too bad, look at the ingrediants for Coca Cola and you realise that you are drinking the stuff, also Hydrochloric, the stuff already inside your stomach is strong enough.

hydroflouric is the nasty to one to avoid at all costs.

My first job from school ( not counting helping out in the garage) was in an electroplating lab so I 've had most types of acids and alkalis making interesting patterns on my skin.Most are innocuos while diluted like Larry says Hydroflouric is an exception at
