on 5/4/2007 I just ordered some of this stuff a couple of weeks ago and tried it on the rust stains I my driveway that have been there for years. It worked like a charm. Two thumbs up from me. I previously had tried a couple of products from the local Ace store, but had absolutely no luck removing the stains. Now, all is good and the wife is happy again.
