Evapo-Rust ER012 Super Safe – 128 oz., Non Toxic Rust Remover for Auto Parts, Hardware, Antiques | Rust Removers and Chemicals

I allowed a classic item to get significant rust on it; my stupidity. Did not change out my desiccant material in my safe where I kept my Luger P08 pistol and it got rusty; so bad the mag release did not work and safety was stuck. Used the Evapo-Rust on it and it worked great. Took the pistol apart and let all the pieces soak for about 24 hours. Put it back together and everything functioned correctly. I highly recommend this product.

Automotive parts: I was well pleased with the results of this product. The amount of soak time required seems directly proportional to the severity of the rust being removed. So far, I have removed very light surface rust, which took an hour or two and Ive removed rust from some fairly heavily rusted items (to point they were pitted), which took at least a 24 hour soak. It doesnt necessarily leave the part shiny new looking, but it does knock the rust off and you have a clean metal surface. A little wire brush or steel wool brings out the finish a bit more. One note is to make sure you follow directions on washing the product off with water after removal and put some sort of rust inhibitor or they will start to flash rust again. I used the well known spray lubricant and so far Ive not seen any issues. (would have to then remove THAT product prior to trying to paint) I would buy this product again. Actually have already ordered another gallon and will probably get a 5 gallon container to soak some larger parts.

I cant explain why this stuff works but it does. Ive used it several times to remove surface rust from bolts/screws. I left them soaking 24-48 hours and impressed with how they came out.

In restoring motorcycles I drop all the nuts and bolts and everything in it. Totally cleans them up. More importantly it will de-rust a gas tank and its non-toxic. Its not particularly cheap but Ive not found anything else thats close to working.

I dont know what is in that product, I smell like industrial soap, it feels like soapy water but it removes rust without a doubt. This is the first time ever I use a rust remover which does not smells like it is going to dissolve your hand if you dip a finger in it! I had a badly rusted parasol foldable stand leeching rust every time it was raining. I left the stand in the a bucket full of this product overnight after washing it as per instructions and all the rust was gone the next morning. A quick wash to clean the dark deposit resulting from the chemistry and I repainted it to avoid rusting again.

It’s easy, safe and it works. Don’t expect like new, but it’s definitely better than it was when it was rusted. It removed the rusted parts. It says works at 65degrees and warmer, but it’s in the 50s here plus rain so not sure if that affected the outcome. Still, I’m satisfied with how my snow chains turned out and ready for use this year. I soaked each section about 3 hours. Brush the tougher areas. After drying, I spray it with anti corrosion spray.

I bought this to remove rust from our 3 year old LG dishwasher racks (NOTE: never buy LG appliances) because they cost $200 each to replace and the dishwasher cost $500ish. This removed the rust in a few hours and after cutting back the factory coating a bit and finding no more rust I used something called uber goop to coat the bare metal of the rack. So far no re-occurrences of rust in those areas. Had a few more spots show up in other places on the racks and I treated those with Evapo-Rust as well. It works, and it wont poison the world we live in either. A Win Win purchase in my book!

I found it does convert rust into a protective coating, sometimes with a small bit of scrubbing and several long soaks.. It washes off easily with water, but it is best used for dipping. Nothing has been returned to shiny metal, but maybe I have to do more testing. I am trying now to use it by applying dipped paper towels for objects which cannot be dipped as they suggest. It is reusable.

Got a vintage pot belly stove I want to clean up and use in my shop. It had a ton of rust abd I looked up different methods abd this seemed to be a miracle product so I got three gallons and soaked the dismantled stove. I kept checking every few hours, and every check yeilded very little progress. Let it soak fir TWO DAYS! Not only is most the rust still on it but now it has that Ive been killing myself to clean off on top of the rust. This picture taken halfway through the post-soak scrubbing. The pieces were WAAAY worse when I removed them for this miracle rust remover.

Really works good. Had some tools rusted closed and couldn’t be opened. Left them in some of this overnight and looked brand new next morning!
