Evapo-Rust!!

[1991notchbackLX]

This stuff is truly amazing and IT WORKS!! Apparently, it was developed for use by the military and then was released to the general public once they saw how well it worked. I picked some up from a local auto store and it truly does what you see in the video on the page. It's safe on plastic, rubber, and vinyl. The best part is, aside from being biodegradeable and safe for skin and eyes, you can REUSE it! Once you're done, just pour it back into the container and use it again on some more rusted parts! I know, it sounds like I work for these guys, but I'm just supporting a great new product. Definitely worth checking out...

i dunked a vacuum solenoid that was completely stuck from 40 years of being in my cougar (see sig). After a day i pulled it out and it looked brand new, and wasnt seized up anymore.

You can only reuse it once or twice, though, ive found. And i had a little coffee filter recycling system to filter out the rust chunks left at the bottom of my container.

It does work though!

yikes, not as much interest in this stuff as i thought, oh well, i just dunked a bunch of my dad's old tools in it and they came out awesome

I can vouch for it also. i thought it was a gimmeck and the vendor gave me some sample bottles and holy crap this stuff works great.

Could use it on headers? Would be worth trying maybe

It works on anything YouTube - EVAPO-RUST, RUST REMOVER

Yeah you can use it on anything. You can buy it in a 50 gallon drum to dip an engine block in haha. Lots of industrial companies use it, apparently.

Check out the before and after pics on the site.

OK so if the egr vacuum solenoid (the thing on the passenger side strut tower) is seized up this stuff will free it up? even if its got electrical connections in it?

it's safe on vinyl, nylon, rubber, and plastic, and won't eat metal no matter how long you leave it submerged... so worth a shot, huh?

Is the stuff expensive, I don't think i've ever seen it around here.. but then again I haven't really looked for it either

under $20 for a gallon... pretty reasonable considering the price of sandblasting, and it doesn't damage parts like a sandblaster can if you use the wrong kind of media

Hmmm. My master cylinder is rusted.. Probably have to remove it from the car and everything to do it though

they say you can soak paper towels in evapo-rust and place it drectly on the rusted suface, then cover it with plastic wrap to prevent rapid evporation, the rinse the rust off... worth a shot

Hmmm I could try that. I guess it can't hurt anything haha.

Evapo-Rust? I am currently looking into it! Keep posting stuff like this, that actually useful- my computer at the house has been down, since like Memorial Day, and when I get a chance to check out whats been up with the fella's, I find remarkably few new things on here, that weren't before- this is the stuff thats fun to find, nice catch, brother

Hmm looks pretty good, now if only I had enough to submerge my entire car in.

Thanks! Rust stalks all of us car guys like the grim reaper, so I figured we could all get some use out of a product like this.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. You can order it in industrial size drums. You could probably dip body panels and suspension parts and stuff if you had the motivation and money to do so.

Fill a swimming pool full and start chargin guys with classics to come dip there body panels in it, you could make a profit if you get enough guys to do it
