Three good products.
-- Rust Reformer is sprayed directly onto rust to bond with it and make a paintable surface.
-- Rust Dissolver (generic name: naval jelly) does what the name says.
-- Corrosion Inhibitor keeps it from coming back, supposedly for a year.

Lowes only had the Reformer and Dissolver; Home Depot only had Reformer and Inhibitor.

Pics 2 and 3 are of The Carrot's kickstarter, after treating with the dissolver. The Carrot was left outside for a long time, at the mercy of the elements. The rust had eaten through the chrome, but it does look a lot better than before. Basically it was mostly rust, very little chrome. Because of the depth of the rust, it was not a simple squirt, wait 30 minutes, wipe off and have perfection. For surface rust that would probably work. I used several applications and some rubbing with a green scrubby pad. I will probably hit the kickstarter with Rust Reformer and have a flat black kickstarter. I like this style better than the one on The Tomahto, so on it goes. I hit the very stiff foot pivot with penetrant, then sprayed white lithium grease in there. Works nice.
