Evapo-Rust ER012 Heavy Duty – 128 oz., Rust Remover for Auto Parts, Hardware, Antiques | Rust Removers and Chemicals

It works well, but I recommend leaving the items to soak for a good 24 hrs. The product can be left to work for an extended period without corroding or altering metals. Also, it should be used at room temperature; cold temperatures inhibit action and slow performance.

I do a lot of work with bikes, and often come across lots or rusty bolts, cassettes, chains, derallieurs etc. This stuff works wonders. It doesn't do 100% of all my goods, but i'd say about 98% comes out great, sometimes depending on the metal, it turns it black. But if its chrome, its brilliant. Its happened on a couple of chains, turned the links black, but on some silver chains it's fine. I recently did some files which again worked great but they turned black, but who cares, they are files, and do the job whatever colour they are. Would I say worth the money?.......All day long. 5 litres of this stuff is likely to last me a lifetime, and its apparently Eco friendly. I'm off to try some drill bits now.

Having read good reviews on-line and seen the success on YouTube,, I purchased a couple of containers and gave it a go. The items have to be submerged in the solution and I've found that agitating them regularly and rubbing over the surface with your fingers helps to speed things up a little. I've found it to be very good and it does indeed remove the rust back to bare metal within around 24 hours with no visible damage to the item being de-rusted. I have used the solution multiple times and it continues to work well. Once it eventually runs out of de-rusting capacity, I will definitely get some more. Since this is a solution and the items need dunking into it, its not ideal for larger items. Tests against gel product shows that this seems to work far better than they do. To conserve the amount of fluid needed during de-rusting, I've used empty 1.5L fizzy drink plastic bottles, buckets and even drain pipe with a stopper on the end as containers, so think laterally about how you will submerge the item whilst using the smallest amount of solution possible. Some people advise to put sealed containers containing water in the vat to raise the level in an inexpensive manner.

work as described

Good stuff, does what it says.

I actually haven't unpacked this flagon of Evaporust yet but that doesn't stop me from giving a review. That's because I previously bought a One Litre flagon to try out. It's not cheap but It worked so well that I'm now confident it will be cost-effective to use it on some larger items, that is why I then bought the One Gallon size.

This is an amazing product. My partner has used it to remove rust from his 12 year old Evo X. It will remove rust from parts in literally a couple of hours. Hes a very happy man!

I was sceptical having tried many products but not only is this reusable (until its too brown) but safe and removed really heavy rust from my tools.
