If you have a rusted metal surface you can try an abrasive sand paper or even sand blasting to get back to bare metal.
Alternatively, you can mix up a homemade rust remover. Simply sprinkle salt on the rust, squeeze lime juice over the salt. Leave the concoction on for three hours. Use the lime skin to rub away the rust.
Commercial applications such as Liberon Rust Remover can be very effective

• Liquid formulation for removing rust. Inhibits further oxidisation. Suitable for use on iron, steel and all ferrous metals.
