EVAPO-RUST CRC 33400-AA Rust Remover 5L

Not cheap but a great product that I have used before.

Promptly despatched and delivered surprisingly on a next day service at no extra cost, The product itself is brilliant.

I was skeptical about such a product for a long time, but curiousity got the better of me and I bought 5 litres. I was quite amazed at just how well it works. The only downside is, as a result of the chemical reaction taking place, it does leave the product with quite a pungent smell. It's meant to be ab;le to be re-used time and time again. I'm yet to see how true this is, but for the items I soaked in it over noght, the results were far better than I expected. Tools have been returned to working condition ( just remember to oil them up well after cleaning them), and a metal bracket from badly corroded to virtually rust free,If you want a quick and easy way of removing rust, and you can put up with the "aroma" left behind, then certainly give this a go.

amazingly effective

Had a few issues with the delivery, the product container seems to be prone to leaking in transit. The first one I received had leaked out over the box due to a loose lid. The replacement was also leaking, but only a small amount. The supplier sorted out a replacement delivery pretty quickly though. The product itself works really well. I've been leaving heavily rusted tools, nuts and bolts etc in the product for 24 hours. They come out completely free of rust. A good rinse of water and a gentle rub over with oil to protect the surface and you're good to go.

Works very well indeed! I've been using it to restore some parts on an old abused tractor left out in the rain, and it does a remarkable job. Pictured is a Hydraulic manifold - you can see the state the fittings have got into, but juts look at how well it's come up after a 2 day soak in Evaporust. Did take a little longer than I'd have liked to work, but then that's most likely on me for not degreasing it first, Other parts that have been degreased first come out rust free overnight.

Works very quickly, but be careful as it can strip coatings off too. If you don't immerse the item fully it can cause some discolouration.

It works well at first and is very effective but degrades quickly and reuse effectiveness is limited. Also beware of storage in cold temperatures- even in a garage . My 5 litre tub congealed and was gloopy like a glue after storing over winter and was no use in this state. Its pricey considering it's limited shelf life.
