Product Information

Today, we’re going to look at some of the top rust converters you can use to breathe new life into your ferrous metals and metallic surfaces. These products will help to prepare your metal items for painting or simply ensure they can last as long as possible. How We Compared Rust Converters Because the remover is more likely to remove all traces of the rust, it, therefore, prevents rust buildup and when used in conjunction with rust prevention solutions such as a rust shield aerosol can last a lot longer without the return of rust.

But it offered very little in the way of long-term protection to our sample. The unpainted area was uniformly rusty again and it was starting to develop on the other side too. Loctite SF7503 Rust Remedy It wasn’t worth the time and effort either. Unlike the other fluids, the Rustins didn’t seem to bond to the metal at all, meaning it just sat on top of the surface. This meant it struggled to protect against our salty spray and actually started flaking off by the end of our test, revealing the bare metal underneath. Jenolite Rust Convertor Liquid Rust removal also takes more effort. It is a manual process making it more difficult than a rust converter. Even on the bodywork a stone chip or scratch can soon grow into a nasty blister, and you need to treat rust properly to stop it spreading. Rust removal involves spending hours with a wire brush or strong acidic chemicals that are dangerous to use, so it is far easier and safer to use a rust converter. These stop reaction in the metal using special ingredients, which neutralise the corrosion and allow you to paint over it. You can then brush away any excess rust and you can repeat the process if there is still some stubborn rust lingering. Pros of rust removerNo matter how careful you are with items featuring bare metal, iron oxide can easily lead to significant rust formation and the deterioration of your products. The best rust converters ensure you don’t have to spend hours removing rust or simply replacing crucial items. The formula also protects against bacterial growth and provides long term protection, preventing the original problem from happening again. Before treating any corrosion upon your car, it’s advised that you use a wire brush beforehand. This allows you to remove any loose or flaking rust and treat it more effectively using one of our recommendations. If you are new to treating rust on your car, we wrote an in-depth guide on how to remove and treat rust whilst testing out some rust treatment products.

But it didn’t last. By the end of our month the coating had almost completely disappeared from our unpainted metal and spots of rust were starting to break through to the other side too. And while it appears to be cheap, the bottle is tiny at just 90ml, making it seem poor value. Verdict Rust Converter is a chemical formula which acts as a solution to rust buildup, working well on iron and steel components.Jenolite Liquid can be used to remove the light oxide films that are produced after shot blasting or grit blasting. Apply to the surface for 2 to 3 minutes and immediately wipe dry while still wet. If you are getting underneath a car, make sure you use axle stands or ramps and wear eye protection and a mask. Any areas that are holed will need welding, so don’t waste your time with treatment, but surface rust should be rubbed with a wire brush and then painted with a converter. If you are treating a rust bubble on the bodywork, you will want to remove as much of the rust as possible before treating or it will soon reappear under any filler and top coat. The Magic Rust Pen by T-Cut is a highly effective rust remover that’s designed for small rust areas such as stone chips or dents. It’s simple to apply, cheap and converts rust in just under 15 minutes. Jenolite is a UK brand that offer a number of rust treatments that have been tried and tested for many years. Their rust converter is their most popular product and is designed to convert rust into a ready to paint surface. We left sections of 1mm unpainted mild steel to gently corrode outside over the course of several months, then let them thoroughly dry before treating both sides with our products, carefully following the instructions.

IDEAL FOR USE ON: Automotive, bodywork, chassis, wheel arches, tools, bikes, boats, caravans, gates, garden furniture, etc Rust converter does not provide a permanent solution, it can help prevent rust through creating a chemical barrier however it does not fully solve the problem of stopping rust forming again. There are numerous types of these potions on the market, and they all claim to be the best, so we tested a selection of products to see which you should trust to sort your rust. How we tested them To test these clever corrosion-killing concoctions we left unpainted sections of 1mm mild steel out exposed to the elements until they’d developed a uniform level of deep surface rust. We then treated them with our test products, making sure we followed the instructions carefully, applying the suggested number of coats.

Simoniz Etch Primer

We were really surprised by the results of this rust converters test, not only because the two Jenolite products were so far apart in performance. The fluids here all have a similar appearance, but some are clearly better than others, and cheaper too. The solution works by turning the iron oxides which cause rust into a protective chemical barrier. The protective barrier acts as a primer, allowing the metal to be painted over again.
