anyone ever try this product?
anyone ever hear anything about or try this product for rust removal?
someone on the NCRS board suggested it and said they used it and it works well.
kinda pricey so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had any opinions on it.

Looks pretty interesting. It would certainly beat wirebrushing or sandblasting large pieces. If you buy some let us know how it works. I'm going to be doing another frame in the fairly near future and this stuff looks like it would work well inside as well as outside the frame.

i used that rusteater from murrays.....worked well..... still had to use some elbow grease/blasting but what do u expect........ rust is a chemical reaction to metal and not really a coating so i think that if really takes the rust off then it's magic........ i heard that coca cola eats rust too...not sure...haven't tried it...

i don't know, I'll have to check the website to find out
you know, i don't expect any product to be a magic solution that takes all work and manual labor away, but if this stuff actually works as they show on the website it could significantly reduce the amount of hours upon hours of elbow grease and effort I have ahead of me.

I'm pretty skeptical, but it would be awesome if it worked. After trying about a dozen different rust removers over the years, none of which worked as advertised, I've adopted the philosophy "if it's too good to be true, it probably is".
The good news is they sell it by the gallon for $25 and they do offer a money back gaurantee. At least that way you won't be dropping $100 on a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff.

Doesn't vinegar or something like that work just as good. Somebody here on the forum left some rusty parts in vinegar overnight and they came out pretty clean.

Vinegar takes much longer than overnight....more like several days. Then you have to watch it because it can etch the surface.
Here's a product I tested a while back: Rust Remover 101

and the product looks like it was sandblasted. I would not leave in
water for more than one day. It will etch the metal.
I use 50/50 for 15 hours.

Sounds like voodoo and notice how the exhast pipe that was wet in all the pictures for both sides seem to have untouched rust on them. And all the parts that were cleaned and caked up with rust previously didnt have any pits on them when it was done. I cant even clean the pits off with a blaster, this stuff seems to fill in the pitting like "MAGIC".

There are smooth areas on the "after" parts that can't possibly have come out that way after the rust removal.

You view the demo on ridrust.com and then it takes to you another website to buy the stuff with a totally different name? Could they be using one site to give false claims and then you buy from the other with a different name and then when you take it back and want a refund they tell you they didnt make the claims and they are not responsible for what the other website was saying? Maybe im reading way too much into this.
Looks cool though, if it worked I would buy that stuff by the truckload.

Have used similar products "Extends" actually a rust coverter. Onaqwst is correct rust is a chemical reaction, thats what makes this stuff work well. It is conposed of a several chemicals which counter act the reation if rust. It then dries to a primer like base. I used couple of quarts on a 49 Ford P/U back in 95 and the cab still looks great, no signs of the rust developing under the paint. The secret step they leave out is you still need to lightly wire brush the surface to rid the area of any flakey rust. It does need some rust to react with, so don't wear yourself out. Buy a pint of Extends at the local Pep Boys or Autozone and try it. It comes in spray and brush on, the brush on seems to work better.

Use electrolysis. I used it on a Model T transmission case and gears that were badly rusted and everything came out totally rust free. Clean with a scotch brite pad and water once you are done.
