Rust Remover Gel

I've just bought my second little tub of this rust remover. I have a large floor loom with a rusty reed... I've given it one coat of this and it's really made a big difference. Some parts need a second coat which is fair considering how difficult the job was. I've bought a second rub ready for some other smaller jobs. I think it's well worth the money.

I recently used the Hammerite Rust Remover Gel Blister and overall, I am quite satisfied with its performance. Here’s a detailed breakdown of my experience: #### Pros: 1. **Non-Drip Formula**: The gel consistency is fantastic. It stays in place, making it easy to apply on vertical surfaces without any mess. 2. **Effective on Light Rust**: It works well on lighter rust spots. After a couple of applications, the rust was completely gone, leaving the metal surface clean and ready for painting. 3. **Versatile Use**: I appreciated that it can be used on both interior and exterior metal surfaces without damaging the paint. This makes it a versatile product for various projects around the house. #### Cons: 1. **Brush Not Included**: One downside is that the product does not come with a brush, despite what some descriptions might suggest. Make sure to have a suitable brush on hand before starting your project. 2. **Multiple Applications Needed**: For more stubborn rust spots, I found that multiple applications were necessary. This made the process a bit more time-consuming than I had anticipated. #### Overall Impression: The Hammerite Rust Remover Gel Blister is a reliable product for tackling minor rust issues. Its non-drip formula and versatility are definite advantages. However, be prepared for the need for multiple applications on tougher rust spots and ensure you have a brush ready. With these considerations in mind, I would recommend this product for anyone looking to address light to moderate rust problems effectively. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision!

Did the job perfectly.

After using the Hammerite Rust Remover Gel , I have mixed feelings about its performance. On the positive side, the non-drip feature proved to be quite handy during application, minimizing the chances of creating a mess. The ability to use it on both interior and exterior metal surfaces without causing damage to paint is a definite plus. However, I did encounter a few drawbacks . Firstly, the effectiveness in rust removal was satisfactory but not exceptional. It worked better on lighter rust, and for more stubborn rust spots, additional applications were needed. This aspect made the process a bit more time-consuming than I anticipated. So, the Hammerite Rust Remover Gel is a decent option for minor rust problems, but it might fall short for more extensive or stubborn rust issues. With some improvements in the formula's potency and texture, it could easily result in a higher quality product!

Easy to use. Works well.

Does what it says on the tin although I found that it is not very good at penetrating into things it’s only good for applying directly onto the surface. Great on metals but if you’ve got a rust stain on something it will not work, it only works on the metal itself, so if something rusty has stained something other than metal like a table etc it will not work for that, it was worth a try though and I’ve since used it on metals like intended and works great on metal.

This Hammerite Rust Remover Gel is excellent. If anyone is familiar with the industrial hand cleaner Swarfega, this gel looks exactly like that. It's a bright green gel that you can apply to horizontal or vertical surfaces with a detailing brush. You will need a 25mm (1 inch for our prehistoric American cousins) flat or round detailing brush. Anything larger will not fit through the bottle neck. You cover the rust with the gel. The bright green colour helps you identify where you have brushed it (unless your car is bright green of course). You then wait 20 minutes and see if the rust will brush or wipe off. I found that lighter rust stains would lift off after 20 minutes. The darker rust areas took 2 or three re-applications. You don't need to clean between re-applications. You just brush more of the gel onto those areas. I had purchased a pre-owned car. The car slowly started suffering from condensation. I traced the problem to a missing rubber drain plug in the bottom of the spare wheel well. By the time I discovered the problem, the bottom of the well had brown rust stains. Hammerite Rust Remover Gel sorted the problem beautifully, and most importantly, it did not damage the paint in the wheel well. It's not the fastest rust/rust stain remover. But it works. It's very controllable, and you don't waste any, because its applied by brush and not spray. I was removing rust stains from a painted surface. But if you are removing rust from bare metal, just remember that you will need to apply a rust inhibitor/WD-40/paint, straight after Hammerite Rust Remover Gel does its thing. As it is a remover, not a rust preventer.

It seemed to work after the first application, but left the metal dark and stained, I tried a couple more applications but it got no better. After a couple of days rust was returning (see second photo). I bought some Barkeepers Friend for around £2.50 elsewhere and had a much better result - see subsequent photos. One of the pairs of secateurs was left pitted, I’m not sure if that was from the original rust or the Hammerite Rust Remover.

Wirkungseffekt gleich null, sehr enttäuschend

Doesn’t work. Zero effect on rusted steel.

Works well.

muy lento en su acción. poco eficaz. Vale mas usar medios físicos que esperar a la efectividad de este liquido

L'ho usato su una brutta colata di ruggine nella vasca da bagno (ghisa smaltata). L'ho dovuto applicare più volte per poter ottenere un risultato definitivo, ma è molto delicato sullo smalto pertanto non lo ritengo un fattore negativo. Dopotutto quel che conta è il risultato finale.
