Rust Remover Thick Liquid | Non-Drip Formula | 150ml, 500ml, 1 litre, 5 Litre

1. What is JENOLITE Rust Remover Thick Liquid used for?

It is a fast-acting, non-drip rust remover designed to strip rust back to bare metal. Ideal for automotive bodywork, tools, garden furniture, boats, bikes, gates, and other metal surfaces, leaving them clean and ready for priming or painting.

2. How does it work?

The thick liquid chemically reacts with rust, breaking it down and lifting it from the metal surface. Rust turns dark grey during treatment, and once removed, the metal is restored to a clean, bare state.

3. What makes it different from regular rust removers?

The non-drip formula ensures that it stays in place on vertical or overhead surfaces, providing controlled, precise application without running or wasting product.

4. How fast does it work?

Visible results are typically seen within 15–30 minutes, depending on rust severity and surface conditions. The treated area is ready to prime or paint after 30 minutes.

5. Can it be applied to vertical surfaces?

Yes. The thick, non-drip formula is perfect for vertical surfaces, edges, and corners, ensuring the product works exactly where needed without dripping.

6. Can it be used on small components?

Yes. Small parts can be immersed in a plastic container filled with the thick liquid until rust is removed. Afterward, drain and wipe dry before priming or painting.

7. How do I apply JENOLITE Rust Remover Thick Liquid?

1. Prepare the surface: Remove oil, grease, loose paint, and loose rust using a wire brush or steel wool.
   
2. Apply product: Brush liberally onto rusted areas or immerse small parts. Rework with a brush every 5 minutes for best results.
   
3. Monitor progress: Continue until rust turns dark grey. Wipe clean and remove any remaining residue.
   
4. Prime or paint: Wait 30 minutes, then apply primer or topcoat for best results.
   

8. Do I need to rinse after use?

No rinsing is required. Simply wipe dry after treatment and wait 30 minutes before priming or painting.

9. How long should I wait before painting?

After wiping the treated metal dry, wait 30 minutes. For best results, prime or paint the same day.

10. Can leftover liquid be returned to the container?

No. Do not return used or contaminated liquid to the original container.

11. What coverage can I expect?

Approximately 4 square metres per litre, depending on surface texture and rust severity.

12. Is it suitable for large metal surfaces?

Yes. The thick formula provides controlled application and can cover large areas evenly with a brush.

13. How should I store JENOLITE Rust Remover Thick Liquid?

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from frost and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

14. Is it safe to use on all metals?

It is designed for ferrous metals (iron and steel). Always check product compatibility on small areas if in doubt.

15. Where is it made?

JENOLITE Rust Remover Thick Liquid is Made in Britain, trusted for over 80 years for effective rust removal and surface restoration.

Remove all traces of oil or grease. Remove old paint and loose rust with steel wool or wire brush. Always check product compatibility. If in doubt test a small area first.

1. Apply directly to rust or immerse small parts

Pour required amount into plastic container. Brush liberally, directly onto rusty areas only. Keep Jenolite active by working in with the brush every 5 minutes and adding more if required. Do not allow the surface to dry out or become tacky. Vertical surfaces may require the most attention. Continue this process until all visible rust has turned dark grey in colour, at which point, wipe the surface dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. To ensure all rust has been successfully removed, brush away the dark grey residue with a wire brush/steel wool (if rust is still present thereafter, repeat the process as above until all rust has been removed).

2. Wait 15 minutes, apply & wipe dry

Small components can be immersed in a plastic container. Leave until the rust has been removed, drain excess liquid for one minute. Wipe dry immediately with a clean lint-free cloth.

3. Ready to prime in 30 minutes

After wiping dry, wait for 30 minutes, then apply Jenolite Primer or topcoat. For best results, prime same day.

Do not return excess Jenolite Rust Remover to the container.

Wash brushes and equipment in clean water immediately after use. Splashes onto surrounding paintwork and skin may cause staining - wash off immediately with water.
