I posted this on the Owners forum but figured many reading this could use this product. It really works!!!!

saw this product and thought it can't work as they say or I would have heard of this by now. Well someone out there is keeping the secret I am about to share.

Living 200 yards from the Atlantic means we see a lot of rust. Nails rust and bleed rust which I have always had to paint over to make it go away - for awhile. Well no longer since I got this stuff. You see on the left a bleeding rusty nail and the trail of rust. Nothing removes it so you paint over it. Today I just sprayed the trail, on painted wood, and with no rubbing it went away in 10-20 min. This was a tough one and took 4 sprays. Amazing. I have sprayed it on white vinyl and it works the same. It won't stop the nail from rusting, but it sure looks better!!!!!!!!!!! I only have one before and after because I went around the house spraying stains and when I went to see if it worked the stains were all gone. Off painted wood and vinyl. I have sprayed a dozen stains on my house so far. This is great!

This is what you want to get

Another one

1 spray waited 5 min no rubbing no rinsing.

Tim, when can you come over and do my house??!

Whoa...no way. Looks like a game changer out here for sure. I wonder if it will work on toilets and sinks.

Probably just oxalic acid. You can buy it in crystal form and mix it with water. You should rinse it off or it will eat paint, wood, etc. It is an excellent outdoor deck and concrete cleaner too.

I would also add that it should be applied low first and work your way up or it can cause streaking.

If you are very, very careful, you can use a small artist's brush and Ospho to stabilize those rusty nail heads. It may not reach the back side of the nail heads, but just touching up the front should help.

Test it on your siding/paint or deck or whatever before you get started.

It's weak phosphoric acid and turns iron oxide into inert iron phosphate. I've used it for decades on everything from wrought iron railings, to mailbox posts, to old heating oil tanks. It goes on like water, then after it dries you brush off the white powdery residue and then you can paint it if you like. The black iron oxide is stabile, but a coat of paint or primer helps.

I even did a rusty hole the size of my fist in a 1978 Datsun B210 rocker panel once and didn't get it patched and painted for a year. The hole completely stopped growing.

Here's the 1946 railing on the kids' first house.

Is there a way to post multiple pics? The red paint is Rust-Oleum Professional Red Primer in a tall spray can. A custom railing company owner told me to use his system after he rebuilt both sides of a full flight on the front of my 1916 home. The top coat is Rust-Oleum High Luster Specialty Lacquer.

And one more. As you see, you can paint right over the white patches after you knock them down a little with a sanding sponge or wire brush.

I just looked up the Whink stain remover on the Rust-Oleum site. Sinks, toilets, fabric & carpet too !!!

"ABOUT RUST STAIN REMOVER
Rust Stain Remover in the "brown bottle" has been the #1 pure liquid rust stain remover since 1947!!!

This convenient liquid formula quickly and easily removes rust stains from white sinks and white toilets, as well as colorfast fabric and carpets."

I looked it up, it's about 97% water and 3% hydrofluoric acid (HF). HF is what the guys in Breaking Bad used to dissolve bodies.

I'm sure this solution is safe when used as directed. I was going to buy some to use on some wood rails and posts, but the Amazon site said to avoid contact with wood.
