I give it an A+ because it cleaned my parts and made the metal shine like new. I used a peice of Scotchbrite to scrub my parts after allowing the jelly to do it's thing. Sometimes you have to do another coat and Scotchbrite again. I sometimes use a brass "tooth brush" which is not as abrasive or steel tooth brush. Either way I will sand and prep my parts for paint or polish them a wire wheel and squirt clear on them. Other times I polish some or my parts with buffer wheel so the look like chrome and then squirt some clear. I like some kind of coating to keep my parts rusting making my work last longer. A+

Great review! I will be repairing some rocker panel rust this weekend and am very happy to see how well it works. Thanks

Great video! There are so many rust removers out there that don't do anything, it's good to find one that actually works!

I used this stuff to clean the chrome wire wheels on a '68 Jaguar XKE, by using a small one inch paint brush and just painting it on and around the spokes & hub then after 10 minutes hosed it off. It brought the wheels to like new condition and I received many comments and inquiries on how much I paid for new wheels. It really works.

To keep the metal from re-rusting use a good corrosion inhibitor if you don't want to paint it. Blaster Heavy Duty Corrosion Stop Protectant is good. Shake the can then spray it on and wipe it clean. Use it on my old tube radio chassis after taking the rust off with Naval Jelly. Cover up any painted surfaces when spraying it.

The Naval Jelly contains phosphoric acid and converts rust into iron phosphate, which is the black stuff you mentioned. :) Some rust removers use tannic acid and the byproduct is iron tannate.

For heavy rust, apply a kinda thick layer then cover with plastic wrap so it won't dry out, then leave it for a few hours or overnight. It also helps if you can knock any scale or loose rust off with a wire brush. If you use a wire wheel in an angle grinder to get most of the rust off, then 5 or 10 minutes is adequate. Otherwise this stuff takes a bit more time to work.

Wow, thanks for the video! About to use this to clean a planer (never used it, let alone heard of it before) and this video kept my attention. Informative, but with a side of humor. Usually these DIY videos put me to sleep with their monotone speech, this one is great! Keep up the awesome work!

my vote for most hilarious commentary...of a rust removal video.

Used this in the 70s great stuff

Wow finally a decent video with actual results.... I must do it on my car before painting the underbody :D

I've gotten excellent results from submerging rusted items (e.g. an old axe head, pitchfork, etc.) into a bucket of household vinegar! Works great and leaves a nice gray finish.

Looks just like naval-jelly which works great

The rust on the square tubing looks like the frame of a car I have and I wanted to see how it turned out before trying it. It did really well.

Thanks for the video.! Best way to brush something onto a surface is with a brush, just like the instructions stated. I did enjoy the finger painting, though.

Thank you!!!

Tank's verry interesting

I have also used this and the stuff at autozone and it works great... Rural king had some stuff that was in a spray bottle as a liquid and would leave a coating that you could paint over.. that was some awesome stuff for minor things. Like the electric companies box and meter. Something you shouldn't spray off with soap and water. 🤣

black residual is probably iron phosphate, its formed when phosphoric acid ( or other acids) reacts with iron oxide, its ok to leave it their and paint on it, rust converter is often just phosphoric acid weak solution.

I have been using naval jelly since 1980 when I had an old rusty set of wheels for a rustier Firebird. Took two applications but all rust was gone so I could paint them. What can I say? At 16 in the 80's, you did whatever you could to get your old POC muscle car looking as good as you could on the cheap. Wish I would have used the naval jelly under the bondo. I bet the body would have lasted a little longer! My indrocution to DIYing. The wheels never rusted, the body fell apart. Royal jelly has been my go to for - my whole life I suppose. It is somewhat acidic so if you are like me and tend to not wear gloves etc., I would make an exception on this one. I have had it splash into my eyes when in a hurry and that did not feel good so would recommend eye protection. No damage to eyes just rinsed them out with an eye washer in a hurry.

naval jelly is essentially phosphoric acid with a thickener to make it into a paste. I have used naval jelly in combination with 85% phosphoric acid (food grade is readily available). It is an excellent rust remover, and does not have the toxicity of oxalic which is also an excellent rust remover.

Naval Jelly, look up the old popular mechanics or mechanix illustrated magazines. There are so many products out there to de-solve or convert rust. My best is still the older school way, electrolytic method.

thanks for the video

Yes I use this on rusted steel parts from the 1950s, it works great, for deeply corroded pieces you will have to aplly multipl time...when I get the part rust free I re-blue it with gun blue....finish is quite good.

LMAO at 4:00 "probably just a warning for stupid people". That made my day. Great video by the way!

Zep® Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner - 128 oz. $11.98 at Menard's. Works in 30 minutes for most parts, over night for very heavy rust.

is this similar to their rust converter spray? I think the spray can be left on after application

Does Klean Strip Concrete & Metal Prep leave behind some latex or acrylic coating? Is there a rust converter that only uses acid? Seems like some latex coating will negate the ability to use a primer. Ultimately, you're limited to the adhesion of that latex or acrylic.

Yeah, naval jelly’s always been some pretty rough stuff.

So does Harpic Strong bleach at £1 a bottle

Another way to remove rust is with a container of water and an electrolyte in the water... baking powder baked for 15 minutes turns into baking soda. Use that in water to Cary the current. You can use 12 volt current, but since I have a lot of extra laptop power supplies I use 19v at about 3 amps. You will need a piece of iron or steel. . No stainless steel. Mix baking soda in water. Attach the metal you don't want to the positive lead. Attach the metal you want to de rust to the negative terminal. It's the reverse of electroplating. The rust deposits onto the sacrificial metal.. I did have some larger clips that I attached to the wires to make it easier.. I used a 55 gallon drum and could do most of the bumper When I was done all rust was off but it left major holes.. a friend welded it it up good as new

Im think too try on my doors of my car, the lower parts of them its rustet and doble plated too , some steel of Japanese car its difficult too remove an stop rust of

Have you tried hitting it with the wire brush on once you apply the dissolver?

I want to say that your videos are always funny, but that is not 100% true. This video was, as you said A- for rust removal, but your commentary had me cracking up and I would give you an A+!

I will try pre-spray with vinegar Cover with seran wrap. Wait hour then brush excess rust Then apply rust remover (covered)

First you need to remove the rust flakes, with a steel brush, then the product is applied with a brush and it must be covered inside a container or plastic bag, to prevent it from evaporating, let it rest for 24 hours

Hey it’s been 2 years how’s this stuff holding up ? Have you found any other products better to use than this one?

Oh no not the Bigfoot! I get the rusty tools. Removing the Patina from Bigfoot is a no no. People pay top dollar for that stuff. Lol. Thanks for sharing.

are u supposed to paint right on it>? or you clean off then paint?

looks good', loctite', rustoleum reformer rattle can' spray, works good for 1st layer of primer paint work', peace

Naval gel has been around for a Very long time

Mix caustic soda and wall papir adhecive and just a little water. You wil have same product whitout color. OUTSIDE use only ;)

This product has been around for decades and was proven that long ago. Use an DOD pad to do final cleaning on metal things...like your tools, etc.

Vinegar works great

Naval jelly been around since ww2. It works great

I knew and old man years ago that used that product to mix himself up a special type of colonic, he swore by it.

Since those other products came out I can’t find it at the L or the H store

Why don't they spray this under vehicles?

Like pretty much 100% of these sorts of products this is only a temporary fix once rust starts you can't stop it , you might slow it down but you're not going to stop it.

Naval belly was around 50 years ago .

That stuff is great for constipation cleans yáll right out asap..

I need it in a 5 gallon jug to rust convert a metal building lol

My best process for removing rust is use a 40 gallon plastic trash barrel ( hold big parts, fill it 2/3 with water, then throw in a gallon of muratic acid (about 16 bucks for 2 gallons at home depot) for heavily rusted parts leave in over night, ( don't put aluminum parts in they will disappear, small steel or iron parts like screws can vanish too) remove and wash liberally with water to neutralize the acid, will turn the steel black, if parts are greasy clean with soap and water before soaking, 9 % vinegar works well too...don't put in chrome parts it will turn them black...done a lot of parts like this, for lightly rusted parts, leave in less time. It will remove paint too.

Was that the sound of a fully charged Onewheel?

Try some steel wool and you will get better results with this stuff..

Evapo Rust……gets into the nooks and cranny’s…..does the job…..

Naval Jell is a reference to military use on ships, not belly buttons.

I need to move rust from a tow hitch on my SUV. But the Loctite Rust Dissolver is so expensive, I could use the money to buy a new hitch. What is the point.

Muratic acid works best

I have a wagon that is has rust all over. My roommate says to put a rust inhibitor on it and paint over it. Is he right? I say remove the rust and paint.

By the way, phosphoric acid is one of the ingredients of Coca Cola, so you know it works to clean rust!!!

Problem is false advertisement with this product! Yes it will remove some rust but it contains Phosphoric acid, which converts Fe03 (rust) leaving behind a residue of FePO4, technically not rust but still there as a scale. In places that need to be cleaned such as inside an engine or other technical devise, It’s not a good idea, it can most certainly break away and float through the systems. This still classifies as a converter in my opinion.

Don't pick your nose, scratch your rear end or da man berries!!

dont use that stuff on chrome unless you are going to rinse and wire brush it thoroughly maybe 2-3 minutes or less or you get a dull, crappy looking chrome finish that never polishes nice and pretty again.

I always eat off my chisels.

Kyselina fosforecna

I lost faith when he couldn't grasp the concept of taking a 1" paint brush and dipping in some jelly.

Sorry no thats suface rust your vid have company advertising all over it.I couldnt find any rusty tools oh really whatever ask a neighbour.

Theres better stuff on the market that is a liquid and you can spray it on and it dissolves rust and leaves a black coating

Naval is ships and men on the sea, Navel is your bellybutton, jus to be clear, sheesh

Naval Jelly is one of the oldest rust removers around. It's been available since the 1960's. This video has no new information.
