I was researching some de-rusting options and found a product called
Rust-X. Their claim is that it chemically reacts with the rust in several
different ways and the end result turns the rust into a protective coating
that is supposed to seal the metal from any further moisture contact.
I got one bottle of the stuff and sprayed it on a few things. After about
20 minutes the rust turns into a semi glossy black finish. Supposedly this
can be painted over or simply left alone. So far it seems to do what it
says it will, but the proof will come in time.
