I dont know about you, but I have always been a little disappointed when using rust removers, the best one I had used up until this week was hammerite immersion rust remover, it was pretty good but took about a week to do its thing.
As usual I was trawling through the US forums on vehicle restoration and noticed alot of people recommended this Bilt Hamber Deox range, it isnt easy to come across in the UK, but Opie Oils sell it

So, how do you prepare it? Well the Deox C comes in a container and it looks like washing powder, It suggests using warm water to mix it with so i did, the results were pretty good, the only problem was I couldnt mix it to the concentration I wanted, the crystals just wouldnt all dissolve. I tried a couple of bolts and a rusty sub frame bush, over night they came up quite well, all the rust had vanished, the water had taken on a slight hue of brown, that was about it. I kept the mix and will keep using it on nuts and bolts until it stops working, see how many treatments each solution will do.
Next up I needed to make up some more as I had some bigger pieces I needed to treat. So using an old dustbin I decided to try boiling water, this meant boiling the kettle a few times but it worked, I managed to get the concentration I wanted, roughly 25%.
I then prepared the item to be treated, in this case the disc stone guard backing plate things, now we all know how rusty these things can get, well mine were no different, so into the hot bath they went :thumbsup:
This is the guard after just 20 mins in Hot Deox C
I will post up another picture after it has been in all night but I must say I am impressed
