would this product help remove rust?

I sincerely doubt it. It is comprised of natural plant oil. Remove the rust first with steel wool or SOS pad, wash the pan, and dry thoroughly. Season the pan a couple times with Crisco (There are plenty of "how to" videos about seasoning cast iron on Youtube), and then use the conditioner after each use to maintain the patina.

I have read that you can use a raw potato to remove rust stains from cast iron. Could be worth a try!

Id try something else like Semi-Chrome or Noxon. This is more of a Polish than a rust remover / Chrome Cleaner. Although it may do the trick, you can try it but Id say to buy a can, only if you have other uses for it... this stuff lasts a good bit and works great for shining stuff up.

It really does work. I used for my iron staircase that is outside and all the rusty disappeared even without paint. I really love this product. I use it now on any item that is rusty.

I'm sure it would depend on how bad the surface was. Mine was light / new rust. I didn't do any prep and had great results.

Yes, unless the rust has already pitted the surface. If the rust has already ruined the sur surface, you will see some variation. But it will clean it up.

Interesting question. I used it to stop rust only on some parts I intended to paint. Since it chemically bonds to the metal if your intent is to eventually rechrome or repaint the part it may interfere with the process and require completely sanding it off. If parts are pitted this could be a real problem. Also when it dries it turns black which cosmetically would not be very attractive

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

It should work just fine, as long as any rust hasn't caused pitting in the metal. But, for discoloration, it should work great.

Hi,According to WEIMAN This item WILL NOT remove rust. If used regularly it will prevent rust from forming.

The can instructions do not mention rust but according to 3M Tech Support this product will remove rust from brakes.

I agree with the previous responder. I would be careful using something that aggressive on the finish. Have had great results with Bar Keepers helper when nothing else worked...particularly around rust.

Any product that chemically removes rust will contain a strong acid which will kill the bacteria in your septic tank. The product called the works which I am familiar with contains 20% hydrochloric acid. Perhaps if it does not kill all of the bacteria you will not experience problems.

I just got one bottle but I didn't remember it being that much. Honestly, I use this product but not very often. A very small amount of olive oil after cleanup will keep the rust away.

hello, this product takes rust off any metal, but we also use flitz on motorcycle exhaust pipes. we have also used simichrome to get the bluing off of the chrome.

I use Lime- Away for that - it takes a few applications - (I just spray on and don't rinse) - but Whink also has another rust remover that works on other surfaces
