Almost everyone has used WD-40 to fix a squeaky zipper or defrost a window, but did you know it's also a quick and easy way to remove rust from the metal surface?
Most people know the multipurpose product WD-40 as a lubricant, but it was originally used as an anticorrosive by the aerospace industry to prevent spacecraft from rusting. WD-40 can help remove rust from metals like iron, chrome, and stainless steel without further damaging the metal surface or removing paint.
The multi-purpose product is great for loosening and removing excessive surface rust. Just spray it on the surface, wait about ten minutes and rub with something abrasive. Its lubricating qualities loosen the bonds between the rust and the metal surface to which it has adhered. And because it is also a moisture deterrent, it offers temporary protection against rust after its initial use.
Do you need something stronger? Try WD-40 Specialist Quick Release Penetrating Spray. Using the same steps above, it can quickly eliminate excessive rust from nuts, bolts, chains, chrome auto parts, stainless steel appliances, and even fishing equipment. In fact, anything made of metal can benefit from a refresh with a WD-40 multipurpose product to improve its efficiency and last longer.
