I`ve used a product that called oxisolve, it works good you spray it on an let it sit. This stuff is safe and easy to use. One gallon with last a long time it`s on the expensive side around $30.00 for a gallon. But it looks like this is getting to be a yearly repair. they have new products for treating rusty surfaces, but this is the only one I`ve used. This is what the web site says about this rust remover
This specially formulated Rust Remover is a powerful, rust-fighting liquid created to meet the needs of auto restorers. It reaches even inaccessible areas, quickly dissolving iron oxide completely and leaving a zinc phosphate coating. Rust Remover can be sprayed, brushed, or used as a parts dip. It is non-toxic, non-flammable and reusable.
I just used it to remove rust from a expensive commercial lawn mower deck, It`s treated now and just needs paint.Nice and smooth surface all the heavy rust deposits are gone.I also used it the treat a running board from my wifes grandfather model TT ford truck that was rusting away. It`s now painted satin black with wrought iron shelf brackets she uses it for her angel collection, looks nice on a wood paneled wall. |
