Boeshield RustFree Rust and Stain Remover, 8 oz

I recently purchased a planer that was probably in a humid environment, or maybe had been left outside. So there was rust everywhere - I cleaned all the functional surfaces manually with sandpaper, steel wool, and elbow grease.Now I wish I had this "rust-free" stuff when I started the job, because I used it on the outside of planer just for cleaning up the look. I was guessing that I'd have some more sanding to do because the rust was pretty thick. But the small spot I tried it on looked great! So I sprayed down a whole section - the results were very impressive... Not only did it remove the rust, but you couldn't tell that the rust was there to begin with - I mean you can see the original machining marks that were covered up with a layer of rust! Where the rust was deep, it left the metal darker than the rest. So with a little steel wool, everything looks great!A couple of catches about this item - It smells BAD BAD BAD! It made me cough something fierce when I inhaled just a bit. WEAR A RESPIRATOR! It made my eyes burn when I had my respirator on, so I used goggles and a big fan (hard to control the spray when the fan is going - but do it anyway!) Don't forget gloves because your skin will begin burning! Heck, get a disposable clean-room suit, they're cheap!The other catch - it leaves a very sticky, gummy surface. Like you let honey dry for a month. So I cleaned up with some solvents (acetone breaks it up nicely).All in all, I'm very happy with this product, as it did exactly what I needed - better than what I thought. I'm glad I don't have to use it everyday because it is toxic. I've already recommended it to friends who have rust issues!

Works great will order again

Cleaned stubborn rust stains without even scrubbing much.

I used this to remove surface rust on my cast iron table saw, and it works great! I sprayed the affected areas directly, let it sit for about 45 seconds, then with medium pressure, I scrubbed with the green side of a Scotch-Brite pad. The rust began to come right off. I immediately wiped up the area with a clean rag.For the stain removing portion, it did not work so great. I have a stain on my cast iron table saw top that the Boeshield RustFree and Stain Remover was unable to remove. To be fair, I wasn't really expecting it to remove the stain completely, as it seems once you get a stain on the cast iron top, you aren't ever going to be able to get it out without milling down the surface of the table. For those who are purchasing this to remove cast iron table saw stains, this might not work for you. It is possible I didn't let the product soak enough on the table, so your results may vary. I might try for a longer soak time in the future.This is a great product overall though, and I plan on purchasing more as my supply runs out. As far as rust removal goes, no other product I have used works better than this. I recommend you give this a try as well.

I used on the blade restoration of an antique handsaw - it still requires some elbow grease but the results were better than expected. I recommend treating your refurbished metal with Boeshield to help protect your hard work.

removes rust and bluing

Does an OK job removing rust, but the longer you leave it in your metal, the more likely it will discolor it. I used my table saw as a flat place to do a glue up and I used way too much glue, which soaked through the heavy duty paper I had put over the saw top in a couple spots and caused some minor rust. This did an OK job of removing the worst of the rust, but left some residue on the table surface. I made the mistake of spraying some more on and letting it "soak in" in an attempt to remove more of the rust. I ended up with a much bigger mess than what I had originally. I had tested this on my saw before as recommended and it didn't leave any marks on the steel, so I was a little surprised at what it did to my table saw. I would have been better off just using some steel wool and WD-40 to remove the rust.

This, simply put, works!
