All rust converters have an acid in them so you could try using a pool acid then wash it off thoroughly with water and an alkaline (soap should do) dry a mediately or you will have a new rust appear.

Gold, sounds good... do you know where you found it.... and where is the photo,,,, get those friggin batteries Angry

A rust converter does not get rid of the rust, it takes it and converts it to neutral and then uses the old rust as a coating to stop further rusting.... it actually turns the rust black Funny

That's where you are wrong. Placing your object in an acid will get rid of the rust and you will have a nice clean piece of junk but by using that so called rust converter that does not convert the rust it neutralises it and with it's thin coat of PVA paint no more air can get to your piece of junk and there for it stops to rust and you now end up with a black piece of junk.

Yes and because of your high level of uric acid you now have gout and if you did pee on it you'd probably never find it again
