Safest Rust Remover or Evapo-rust or ??

[Kurt S]

I've seen the results and I'm impressed. And a little confused.
I think they are pretty similar. Is there a preference for one product over the other?
Is there another product out there to consider?

http://safestrustremover.com/ and http://www.evapo-rust.com/

Thanks!

I think they are the same thing. The developer of the safestrustremover failed to patent the formula worried that his competitors would just read the patent and copy it. Which is exactly what they did, just by examining the solution and reverse engineering the formula. No patent infringement to enforce now, in order protect his discovery.

I just wish they would reduce the cost. I need the 55 gal drum size and for basically just water (with a chemical that puts the PH where needed) it is VERY expensive.

Seems like someone at the garagejournal forum posted a formula for rust remover. IIRC (big IF) it was mostly vinegar and salt??

There is also a thread over there about and industrial size de ruster that is home made.

One of those might provide a viable alternative.

I have used SafeRustRemover, ordered the 5 gallon size, waited 3 months and received the 2. 1 gallon jugs. Appartantly this is concentrate to add with water.
The Canadian distributor sucks.
Have used Evaporust as well.

Both work fine.

Also used Malt vinegar, it works fantastic, you just have to get over the urge eat french fries.

Results with Malt vinegar:

I have used both. I did an entire car with safest rust remover 10 years ago. It is the 1993 Pace car on the restorations page. Results were acceptable.

I have only used Evaporust. I have found a lot of paint markings that I would have never found. End of my axles were dingy so I set them in the bucket over night and this appeared.

I have used both, I think they're the same. My experience with both is they work fantastic for lightly rusted items dunked overnight or showered using the njsteve patented kiddy pool and pump. I stress light rust. If you have a rearend housing or chassis with heavy scale, forget it. It takes too much product, provides mediocre results and will just put a dent in your wallet. Pricey stuff.
