Excellent presentation - no nonsense. Clear, concise, I learned a lot - thank you!!
This saves me a lot of money because I was going to try to experiment and find a good rust remover. Thank you!
Thank you Brian...my husband and I were wondering what to use on my Dad's tools that I inherited. They are dear to me and hope to hand them down to my children. Thanks again...you're a doll for sharing your time.
Such a well done experiment, thank you for all that hard work!
Thank you for spending the money & time to demonstrate.
Brain, thank you for a proper way to do a controlled group testing! Great input, info and facilitating the video properly without excessive verbiage!
I have found that Dawn Platinum, there purple one, works great at removing rust. Mix about twice what you would use for washing dishes and let soak for a day or two. Light rubbing or a power washer will remove the remaining rust. Super inexpensive rust remover.
Thanks for your video. I have some items with varying degrees of rust on them that need cleaning, so your comparison test is very helpful for me. Again, my thanks!
Thanks Brian!
Clear difference between them all.
Youve taken all of your time to make such a great informative video and i apreciate it thank you very much
2 thumbs up
Evaporust is super gentle. I use it to clean up delicate painted items and it leaves intact. From rusted WW2 relics, antique tins, gun parts and auto parts.. love it.
I also love Eastwood products and should try this out for heavily rusted items. Hadn't heard of it. Thanks for the review!
Very good comparison! One of the better comparisons, and well thought out!
Great job, thank you for this comparison!
Hey Brian Thanks for all the information. I am fixing my dog dish holder that rusted and I dont want to buy a new one. He loves this one. You did all the research for me. Thank you YP
Great video. Worth its weight in Gold! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Yes thanks for ALL the leg work, doing my frame on a 1985 Chevy Silverado!!
Great experiment! Thank you!
Very nice job comparing the products. Nice methodology.
I am watching this on Good Friday, Those spikes!!!! Great comparison test
Thank you! Vinegar is so versatile for many other cleaning projects and so CHEAP!
This was quite helpful! Thanks for doing this :)
Thank you Sir for your experiment. Outstanding
Excellent video! Exactly what I wanted to do, but never got around to. You saved me a bunch of work, a lot of gas-wasting miles (I live in rural Montana) and a pretty good chunk of change. Thank you.
Roger Rock thanks for watching!
Seeing how the badly rusted railroad spike is derusted by various cleaners is good information, but you also need to know how gently various metals are treated including those that are cad plated and painted. That is one of the great things about Evaporust, in that plated fasteners and parts are just stripped of their rust and not their plating, and that is usually a very important thing. I recently did a soak test comparing it to vinegar, and found that though vinegar will also remove rust, it can be very harsh and will remove cad plating on fasteners and can even remove base metal, as can different acids. On one occasion vinegar caused severe pitting in a vintage wood chisel that I Was restoring, when soaked over night, so gentle and very effective Evaporust would have been a much better choice since it never attacks the base metal, as witnessed over about 40 uses of this product when restoring bicycles and tools. Evaporust is also totally reuseable and I have found it to be equally effective reusing the same solution as often as desired, making it much more cost effective than if it was a one use item. Evaporust is also virtually odorless and harmless to your skin. I obviously love this product, but would love to see more tests done with the Eastwood product and a product called Liquid Specialties Rust Remover, which claims on eBay to be as good as Evaporust, but much cheaper, and can be purchased in a concentrate that makes 5 gallons for $53 delivered. It sounds like more testing is actually necessary before a "winner" can be determined, but the test in this video is certainly useful, and thanks for doing it!
Chris Mason - Thanks for this additional info! Only question I have
re: using vinegar - How certain are you that the vinegar caused the pitting vs the part being pitted from the process of rusting in the first place?
I too would LOVE to see these variables tested (especially “gentleness” on plated/semi-delicate metals) and all those other products compared!
Btw have you since tried that evaporust “concentrate” replacement from eBay? Curious to hear your experience there too!
Cheers
Excellent observation - will take this into consideration - am removing rust from old metal toy trucks
Agree with you. I restore old woodworking tools and find that I also get an etching type of effect from vinegar on some parts. Evaporust is not the quickest, but it is the most gentle. These are just my observations, no actual testing done. The other big plus for me is that Evaporust can go down the drain - just filter out the rust residue first.

Rust leaves much wider spacing between the pits than the very fine pitting caused by acids. Think polka dots vs sandpaper; they’re easily distinguished.
It’s certain that the vinegar can cause pitting simple because it’s an acid. Acids eat both rust and steel, rust just more easily.

Awesome video Brian. Thanks for your hard work bro!
This is excellent, thanks for doing the hard work! I need a way of cleaning light rust out of motorcycle gas tanks... now I have a good place to start
Thank you for doing this video Brian. Great info and a time saver. Well worth the watch.
Michael Roof thank you!
I’ve restore five hand planes and a whole antique Stanley miter saw with metal rescue and I was impressed with it. It may take longer but it’s very gentle on the cast iron which is really easy to ruin with pitting when using something stronger.
Nice demo, just the information i needed, thanks.
You did an excellent job, you just made me a subscriber. I have a Jeep with some rust. Im going to try the vinegar to prolong the life of the metal underneath.
Thanks really nice job. I would be curious to see what drxcleaner vs Molasses/water (1 to 9) vs Molasses and Cider Vinegar Vs 10% vinegar would do compared Eastwood.
Thanks for taking the time to make this great video. There's no way I can make through all these comments, so apologies if it's been mentioned already... To those asking how to do a larger project that you can't soak: i use a 50% vinegar to 50% original Dawn dish soap solution. The soap makes it cling but doesn't obstruct the vinegar from doing it's job, and makes it extra easy for cleaning up after. I mix, heat to above room temp/ under boil in the microwave, and add some table salt to really knock it into overdrive (roughly 1 cup per 1 gallon mixed solution).
Ps works pretty well on soap scuzz in the shower too.
This is great info. I googled Dawn dish soap and found that it is Fairy Liquid here in the UK. What rust did you use your mixture on and what results?

@@petermortimer3521 sorry for this extremely late reply! I have used this on all kinds of things, but my favorite application is for restoring bicycles! It's very gentle and neutral for the most part so it doesn't destroy sensitive parts. I can't attest to using it painted applications for prolonged periods though- I'm still too scared to even try that but have been meaning to find a scrap part and demo it.
SO, 50% DAWN AND 50% VINEGAR. NO WATER. IS THAT CORRECT?
@@grok40 Yes'r, it 'tis. :) Just make sure to heat the vinegar (to almost a boil if you want) BEFORE you add the soap. Otherwise... Bubbles, bubbles everywhere.
Thanks your sharing your video and help me a very lot
Thank you for your experiment!, Do you think I can use the Eastwood rust dissolver on my cast iron chair? It’ very very rusted!
Vinegar is my go to! It was awesome to see this comparison since I always wondered how well the others worked. Also, found your channel through Izzy Swan's instagram.
Also, I talked to an old-timer once that was into collectiing railroad lanterns. When i asked him how he cleaned up rusty lanterns he said he soaked them in Saniflush.
Randy B sana flush sana flush cleans your teeth without a brush!
@@johnblack8173 Fun fact. The surgical antiseptic that was distilled and sold as floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea was then re-marketed as what we know now as Listerine...
Quick tip: when doing products comparisons like this, you really need to show close ups of the results at various stages. Just standing there talking about them, and waving them around 10’ from the camera does nothing for us, the viewer.
pretty sure thats basically what he did
Nah...not detailed enough for actual comparison. The testing is ok, but the way it’s shot and shown to us is not great. Check out channel Project Farm (he has at least one video comparing rust removal products) for how to do it right.
Just what I needed to know. Good job.
hey thanks for doing the test ! I have seen good results with the vinagar but, its only if soaked for a longer period like a week or more while working on other things it does a good job but, I am cheap and do have the time other wise I would do the eastwood or drx
Excellent presentation!!
Awesome & thorough test! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
nice job. well tested. does the Loctite naval jelly state that you can paint directly over it? I have used the Loctite Extended Rust, which turns black, as it finishes and you paint over it? Just wondering.
Very helpful reviews and the different products and Rust remover do you have any of those products that would work best with chrome
I had very good luck with evaporust and it can be reused so no waste.thank you for the test
Question: How did the Eastwood rust remover do against the rust in small pits? That always seems to be the hardest to remove.
Thanks for this comparison. One thing to consider is that most (all?) of the tested products are used for soaking the rusted item. But what do you do if you have something that is too large for that to be practical, or any other situation where you just can't do that? I am rehabbing my dad's old radial arm saw; it is mounted to a rolling toolbox-style cabinet, which is approximately three feet tall and two feet wide. Even if I were willing to dismantle the whole thing (which I am not), it would still be really difficult to soak the larger pieces. Any of these worthwhile products, other than the vinegar, would definitely be quite expensive in the quantity required for soaking such large parts. And since I don't want to take the thing apart, it means I need a product that can work when applied to a vertical surface. I have used Rust-oleum Rust Dissolver Gel, which comes in a pump spray, and been fairly pleased with the results on some rusty old rabbit feeders I used as test subjects. They will need a second application (the label says that may be necessary on heavy rust). It also says loose rust should be removed with a wire brush or something similar prior to use, and I did that with a wire wheel chucked into my drill. There were some areas I couldn't get to with that, so before I use it again I will use a small wire brush in my Dremel.
Just something to consider -- you can't always soak rusty items.
Thank you for ur time and effort in this informative video I have a 1980 Trans Am and the VIN tag was so rusted I couldn’t make out the numbers I had to go with the Loctite because it’s a jelly VS trying to use a liquid on VIN that’s still in the car with the windshield in the way . Going to leave it on overnight with some saran wrap on top to keep it from drying out.
Torain Walker those gm f bodies sure do get rusty..for sure
And...the result?
Thanks for all the info. I have some chains that are rusted but my concern is if any of those cleaners make the iron brittle? I will be afraid to use the chains after if the metal got brittle
Thanks for the video great information 👍
Great job
Thanks for your help
I would like to see just how many times you can reuse the eastwood product. I've used a couple of the other products, they work well at first but I found that on a a/c (squirrel cage) fan, it worked well on the first side I was able to soak, but when I turned it over the next day it didn't really work well at all, I was forced to buy a new bottle of the product to finish removing the rust.
Great video. Very useful and clear results.
Depending on what it is and where it's located, I like to use heat. Anything acidic will work. I use vinegar to clean brass... heating the vinegar to near boiling helps it work faster. Once I'm done with whatever, I keep the pot of vinegar going, reducing it by about half. Since the water in the vinegar boils at a lower temp than the acid, this concentrates the acid. The next time, the vinegar/acid works better and faster, heated or not.
If you want to speed the process up get a cheap crockpot and start on high until its warm and then on low, check after a couple hours.
Great demonstration
Good test run. Did you try it on steel vs iron? Just curious.
My favorite is vinegar to remove everything including plating. Cad is nasty stuff to sand or blast. It gets air born, bad idea. I don't want it in my blast cabinet media either.
Always wondered who's bottled rust eater was best and that seemed pretty clear in your basic test with iron. I used to use jelly but found a very potent white vinegar that will eat steel and other metals.
Can I add some percentage of water in rust remover and how many engine i can used once adding 5 lit of rust remover plzz answer me
Is it a good idea to use the Eastwood's rust dissolver on an old rusty 357 magnum ? The gun is pretty rusty but still possible.
I purchased the "Metal Rescue" several years ago to remove rust from the inside of a completely rusted interior of a motorcycle gas tank. With a mirror, I saw not one speck of any metal that wasn't rusted. I doubled the instruction time. at first, I filled the tank completely to get full coverage. After emptying & rinsing, I still saw rust, so, contrary to the instructions, I left the fluid in for 2 weeks. Unlike surface metal, I had no way of scrubbing the tank interior. The selling points for me was rust removal & (claimed) completely non-toxic. After 2 weeks & numerous water baths, the inside was like brand new. There was no metal damage at all & perfectly clean.
I also do resto work on bikes, and am currently looking for a way to clean out light/moderate rust from an old Honda right now. My worry is about the fresh paint that I laid on it
Thank you, you really are a good product comparison
Hi thanks for the video - great job. Question - I wanted to use something on my trailer tongue - I can submerge it - what would you recommend?
Paint it on and leave it on - type thing?
Great video. Can you compare Eastwood against DRX1?
Thank you for the information.
Have you done a. Comparison test on rust CONVERTERS
Thank you very much , great information
I like this format. Great job. I subscribed and will check out your other videos.
With Eastwood, did you encounter any flash rusting afterwards? After de-rusting rinsing with water is fine?
Brian, great video. Thanks much for doing such an honest comparison. Now to find a deal on Rust Dissolver. Cheers.
thank you sir!
Industrial vinegar 30% about $22 a gallon at the hardware store. The vinegar in the comparison was 5%. Then there is muriatic acid but don't leave it in too long.
be interesting to see a comparison now between Eastwood and MC-51
Eastwood rust dissolver uses hydrochloric acid (AKA muriatic acid). Naval jelly uses phosphoric acid. Bar Keepers Friend uses oxalic acid.
I suggest that you try citric acid. Find a place that sells it in bulk as a powder, it's dirt cheap.
I've had great results with citric acid.
what acid is evaporust?
you can get muriatic acid for pool water cleaning. I think it would be less expensive there
Hydrochloric acid certainly kills the rust - but it also eats good clean steel!
Not as cheap as vinegar.
Thank you 🙏 for te results.
Your welcome!
Try citric acid powder diluted in various amounts of water... also inexpensive. Then try phosphoric, citric, and vinegar mixture. Thanks!
Try Prep and Etch from Walmart... phosphoric acid works great. It has a blue-green color. Same stuff used in soda pop.
If you have a week, One part Molasses to Nine parts Water works the best of all videos I've watched.
Thanks for the experiment. The only other product I would have like to see included would be WD40 Rust Remover.
So is this good for light surface rust underneath my car? Like on the exhaust, frame etc? I heard the eastwood gel is good. Is it safe to use and hose off?
Eastwood is about 10% hydrochloric acid per its MSDS. That's why it so good at removing rust. It may remove some good metal, too.
You got a good amount of products to test; however, there are way more products on the market! Thank you for this test! 👍
scubbarookie I just purchased what was readily available around me. I’m sure there has been more products released since this video 2 years ago as well. There has been some great suggestions in these comments too.
Naval jelly its supose to be brush on, not submerge. Its a great product, i have found out that if you set it and forget it and come after a couple of hours or days it dries into this white film thats its a bit of a problem to clean off depending on the surface of the part your working on other than that its great, it derust in minutes. Last a long time and its cheap and home depot has unlike the other brands wish you have to order online.
You might also add electrolysis derusting to the comparison as well
Very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Picked up your TH-cam from Izzy Swan's Instagram page. Good stuff, thanks
Larry Parker awesome! Thanks for the sub!
Great video.. Really came in handy
Thank you!!! Good stuff to know! Everyone can't afford to compare that way so thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
good job, thanks for sharing !
i'm curious what they weighed to start, vs weighed when finished, how much of the metal it eats as well as the rust, I'm assuming it's acid based or if its a different metal sparing formulation, be interesting to find out. Take a clean spike, weigh it , rust it, weight it again, rust remove it and weigh it. alot more steps but.... just an idea.
I've only used evaporust and found it really good but slower than they claim. Unfortunately evaporust here in Australia (the land of rip-off prices) is 37 bucks a liter (qrt) and 95 bucks for the 5 liter. Metal Rescue is cheaper but I haven't tried it yet. As far as I know, the other products aren't available here.
Thanks for the comparo :o)
Have you tried CLR? If so how did it go? I have to get it off a bike.
Guy on eBay sells powder form knock off of Evaporust works just as good half the price search for industrial rust eliminator
What!!! You can't get Coca-Cola or vinegar in Australia?? I hear they have some restrictive gun laws but never imagined Vinegar would be banned. lol.
Have seen more video of DrX have you seen this product and considered comparing it to your results
i tryed several types like you did i found the cheapest way was well water and the battery charger 12volts about 24 hrs works great
Great information, thanks!
Thank you for the info, saving $$$.
Thanks for this comparison we need more of these to find out what works and what the efficiency is in terms of money. I hate spending money only to find out that whatever I bought doesn't really work at all. Peace.
That help me a lot thank you
How about my lamp post? How can I use this liquid and on my iron fences designed too.
really good video thanx man
Any advice on WD40 rust dissolver ???? Thanks for the test.
Anyone know what to use to remove rust from a Damascus steel knife that won't harm the design on the blade? I appreciate your time and help with this question, thank you
Excellent presentation and information! May want to compare another product called Evaporust which uses metal chelation to remove the rust.
Great video
I appreciate your effort. I wish you would have tested WD-40 Specialist Rust Remover Soak too.
Was wondering if you ever used or tried Kurt Kutter ..??
