The TRUTH About Rust Removers | Evapo-Rust WD40 Eastwood Rustoleum & A Homemade Rust Remover

In this video, I put some of the most popular rust remover soak products to the test, including Evapo-Rust, WD-40 Rust Remover Soak, Eastwood Rust Dissolver, Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver, POR15 Rust Remover, Oil Eater Rust Remover, and even a homemade rust remover formula.

I’ll soak rusty tools, and parts in each product to see which one works best, how long it takes, and whether the results live up to the claims. You’ll see real before-and-after results, side-by-side comparisons, and my honest thoughts on which rust remover is worth your money and which ones fall short.

Repair Geek's Homemade Chelation Rust Remover:
Disodium EDTA: https://amzn.to/3Y8oRoN
Citric Acid Powder: https://amzn.to/4qBXy2r
Distilled Water: https://amzn.to/4lCfN4R
Dish soap: https://amzn.to/4fMUqwl
Instructions:
Measure out 38 grams of Disodium EDTA, add to 1 gallon of distilled water. Shake water jug until dissolved. Warm water helps to do this but isn't necessary. Next, add 285 grams of Citric Acid to the gallon of water, shake until dissolved. Add one or two drops of dish soap to the gallon jug. Remember, chemistry isn't linear. Adding more citric acid or Disodium EDTA may not improve your results. Just because you add more, that doesn't make it better. Chemistry isn't linear like that...

This formula will provide similar rust removal speed and strength as a retail Chelation rust remover. Your cost will be about $5 a gallon. If this formula works for you, consider making a donation to the channel using the "Thanks" button near the like button with the money you saved.
