I have used it to clean and polish stainless steel. It is excellent for that.

They say it is also good for rust removal. My guess is that they are referring to surface rust - not deeply pitted rusted surfaces.

Bar Keepers Friend contains (unless they've changed it recently) oxalic acid which is sometimes used for removing rust stains. To effectively remove rust I think you would have to add extra water instead of the normal way of using it as an abrasive polish.

"On metal, porcelain, plastic and fiberglass the surface should be wet before applying Bar Keepers Friend powder cleanser.

"For difficult stains, apply Bar Keepers Friend liquid or make a paste with Bar Keepers Friend powder and let it remain on the surface but for no longer than one minute. Rub gently as needed, rinse thoroughly."
