I have some knowledge of the Rusteco rust remover,
since Michael uses it in his motorcycle
restorations.
(it is commonly used to derust the inside of
cycle gas tanks). The claim that it won't harm
paint
or rubber is true, it seems to be completely
harmless.
The claim that it can be reused many times is a
little
hyped - it clearly worked much better the first
time or two the solution is used. Also, it works much better if you don't get in
a big hurry - give it plenty of time and it will do a nice job. Naturally, the
worse the rust, the longer the time required. To restore a lightly rusted
tank
may only take a few hours, real rust may require
days.
Not sure how well it would work with anything but
immersion, brushing on for example. All in all, a good product in the right
application. A little pricey, but on the other
hand what's your paint worth? Fortunately for us,
we won't be needing it on the Imperial - no
rust!
Hope this helps
