Anyone have any experience with this product? Looks to be $10 per gallon cheaper than the brand name.
 
The guy on "hand tool rescue" uses it, that's my only experience....it looks like a pretty wicked product honestly
 
I thought you were talking about actual evapo rust

I've used the por 15 that you linked....not great, wouldn't buy again
 
@Tomc938 are you into chemistry? You might go for the stuff below, if so. It does work slower that 'real' evaporust, but it seems to work as well, in due time.

What made Por 15 "not great"? Slower? Incomplete rust removal? Undesirable coating left on metal? ...??

In my experience vinegar is OK, but leaves a black coating on the metal and is slow. The coating needs to be washed off, and some buffing with a wire brush works good.
 
-- I think Vinegar is most effectively used to remove mill scale, after 24 hrs in cleaning vinegar, most of it is gone. The smell can be annoying, but the upside is that there is virtually no environmental downside.
--For the next step up is citric acid. it is faster than vinegar, and doesn't leave a black deposit. Doesn't smell, and is very cheap.

(One day I will try the suggested video.)

--The next step up is the 6 gallons of genuine Evaporust in the deep bucket.
