on 5/5/2009 For a non-hazardous rust remover try D-Rust-It concentrate. You don't need safety equipment like dangerous acids. Plus there is no labor involved; just soak the object or recirculate the fluid over it. Check with http://www.rustdepot.com for the concentrate.

on 6/30/2006 I had the best luck with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. I used it in my shower and it removed the rust on contact. All I had to do was wipe it off with a wet rag. The stains where there for nearly a year before I found something that worked.

on 3/29/2006 Rust is a major concern in electrical and RF builds. Pretty much anywhere that two different metals are bolted together with be in danger of rusting. The are a bunch of commercial paste like products for this. One is called No-Ox. You can find it in the electrical isle in a hardware store.
Rust cannot form without oxygen. Rust is an oxide. If you make it air tight, it will not rust. Try a small amount of petroleum jelly where possible. It's a quick fix for small rust marks on cars where future water could get in. Also, to prevent scratches from becoming rusty. Don't forget a quick streak of similar color magic marker for a quick cover-up (dealer trick).
