Review: DOES NOT REMOVE RUST - If you order this at midnight after working 70-hours a week for months you might miss the fine print just like I did. I was wondering why the product didn’t remove the rust as well as the little bottle I had previously used as a test. Thought it might be a different concentration. Never thought I bought the wrong product. Spent hours soaking, removed some of the rust with brushes and sandpaper. Finally gave up and just painted as-is with rust. My garden flamingo project ended up costing over $150 and still not rust-free - when I probably could’ve bought a new one for $200. And I would’ve saved hours of free time of which I have so few. The product is probably great at what it’s meant to do, thus the 5 stars. I’m not penalizing the company for my mistake. Probably good idea to wear gloves but I didn’t and my hands are fine. If the manufacturer is reading this, you may want to use a different color on the bucket and label as it’s virtually identical to the rust remover product.
Review: Great stuff - This stuff is amazing. Just make sure you use the rust preventer after removing the rust or it will come back worse than before.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff
*by R***N on February 14, 2019*

This stuff is amazing. Just make sure you use the rust preventer after removing the rust or it will come back worse than before.

### ⭐ Evaporates Money
*by P***I on December 7, 2024*

Does NOT do what it claims. Rust on my upper control arm after soaking and scrubbing for 6 days. Does it look like the rust evaporated? Maybe it works on very light surface rust but as you can see did nothing. Waste of money. As much as I wanted to avoid sandblasting it look like I have no choice. Avoid this product unless you enjoy throwing your money away
