Good video Dave. Use some coffee filters to strain that old stuff and keep using it till it's gone. I usually use a little gun oil after it dries.

[@hendrixwoodworking4586]

Looks pretty good. Wonder if ultrasonic vibration would make a difference? Thanks for the review!

[@massmike11]

Yes it does help, keep it about 80-90f and it just eats it aaway

[@ljgault]

Hey Dave that looks like a pretty good product to get rid of rust. Thanks for the review.

[@hamburgerklay7679]

Does it neutralize the rust? So if i paint over it will it keep the metal from oxidiezing?

[@happymountaingirl6719]

I'm just wandering if I can soak my whole car in this?

[@DaveGatton]

I guess if you've got a big enough pan and a small enough car, go for it. 😃

Ed China from England of Wheeler Dealers fame soaked his mates rusted Range Rover chassis in a big tub of evaporust. You can see this on you tube. The evaporust did a great job. I tested some ER on a pair of rusted Makita drill chuck keys. Look as good as new. Regards B

Looks great

[@johnhall8455]

It does make the metal black if left in over night…the black can easily be removed using a wire brush….but that kind of defeats the object…..it removes the rust ok, leaving a grey colour which eventually goes black…
Has Anyone found anything to easily remove the black coating apart from brushing?..

I've used a pressure washer with decent luck, most recently sprayed this product on some brake rotors and pressure washed after about 25 minutes of continuous application with a spray bottle (they were still on the truck) followed up with some cheap oven cleaner.

Would this work good for old rusty weight plates ?

[@teaguewhite26]

Does it seem to make the metal darker?

[@troypritchard2999]

Very good review. Do you have to coat the stuff with an oil or anything to prevent it from rusting again? I always just used distilled vinegar..... but you you have to soak your stuff for days.... LOL....

[@zufalllx]

WD40

[@SakakiDash]

dont use vinegar it is acidic and will make it rust again. Use a base like soap or something else to stop the process.

[@jimwithheld7217]

@@SakakiDash Yes its acidic, and thats exactly why it works. Many of the rust converter products are 25% posphoric acid. And the black result is part of what makes a good result.

[@SakakiDash]

@@jimwithheld7217 I work in the chemical industry. I know exactly what I'm talking about. After you derust you always need to neutralize the piece or it will continue rusting with even increased speed.

[@thistledownwoodcraft3426]

Thanks Dave. Questions: does the product always turn the metal black? Can the black be gotten rid of? I have an old gun barrel that has a lot of rust, but it is supposed to be silver bare metal.

[@jimwithheld7217]

The black result is good. Its part of what provides ongoing protection to the metal. Except of course if what you are wanting is a cosmetic end result.

[@kirannaik6939]

The petrol tank is rusted, can it be used?

[@suprlite]

Yes

[@user-hh3il8yh5u]

I think you need to let it sit in the solution for 24 hours.
