de-ruster (phosphoric acid)....any good?

[chip douglas]

Has anyone ever used de-ruster ? i`d need to use some on two engine parts that are rusted, yet i only have experience with rust converter. De-ruster does sound nice, but i`d like to hear from you about it so i know it s worth buying.



Does it removes all rust and what kind of finish does it left behind ? I doubt it removes rust to the point where the metal becomes kind of smooth to the touch again.



Any feedback would be appreciated.



Best regards

I`m not sure what the difference between rust converter and rust remover really is, but AFAIK, they both contain phosphoric acid and are supposed to leave behind that coating. I`ve got a bottle of remover lying around that I haven`t used yet either. :o

Chip, I too am not entirely sure about rust converter vs. rust remover. But I had some rusty nuts/manifolds that I just could not seem to get all rust off of. Then somebody in the Jag club clued me into Calyx. It`s a pretty awesome product -- not 100% perfect, but it does seem to match the existing finish -- yields a rough finish on cast-iron exhaust manifolds, more satin on nuts, etc. Check out their website -- http://www.calyxmanifold.com/prod01.htm -- if you`re interested. Also, I ran a Google search on "Calyx AND manifold" and came up with some interesting discussions on Ford and Corvette applications.



FWIW ...
