I have just tried a rust remover that I think works pretty good. It is called "a must for rust". It smells like the "rust iradicator" that we used to remove rust stains from clothes when I worked in a drycleaner as a kid. It has an acid smell. I don't know which.

Anyway you spray this stuff on let it set, wire brush it and wipe off. If the rust is thin you see new clean metal. Where the rust is very thick the metal is now smooth and black.

Has anyone ever used a product like this? I just want to be sure if I prime and paint my frame the paint wont be blowing off down the road when I take my first drive.

If it can be built ... It can be fixed.

It probably is acid. Oxalic or phosphoric. There are many metal prep products that contain phosphoric acid. I used one recently when I painted the upper cab on my '65.
It doesn't list any ingredients?

Which is why you see maniacs cleaning things with Coke (or Pepsi).

Does this stuff cause embrittlement? I guess it has it's appropriate application in some places, but I would be careful. I think coke or pepsi would most likely taste better...

There is a whole category on rust in the Tech Tips page. The question about the Coke smell -- check Barry Weeks\' molasses bath.
