reminds me of the term slower than molassis,on a serious note,i found a plastic container that had a large enough diamiter to put a 26 inch rim in,but a rim in,put enough evapo-rust in to cover rim,put lid on container,works excelent,t=had to search a lot of farm supply paces to find a container with the right diamiter,some expense involve in set up but well worth it,weels come out as nice as they are ever gonna b and you can do wheels till the cows come home

A friend of mine has a molasses tank in his yard. Big enough to hold a pick up truck bed. I've seen the before and after. It works great. But he will leave stuff in there for a month or more.

Wood bleach worked for me. I let it soak for a 15 to 20 mins. Then used a brillo to polish. Rust was gone. I'll get some pictures.

This gets rehashed every so often on this forum. There are dozens of ways to remove rust, but usually the circumstances will shake it down to just a couple. Oxalic acid is a favorite, but it has its risks. It can pull off plating if there is corrosion underneath that plating. It can ruin decals and can ruin paint, depending on the condition and type of paint. Use with caution on painted parts: keep the solution relatively diluted and check the parts often. It can work very well, but it can cause damage in certain circumstances.

I've only used this on Chrome. I don't think this product should be used on paint unless of coarse you are looking to repaint.
