RUST can spread quickly in cars.

Use these rust removal strategies to stay ahead of the curve.

Small rust spots are often a catalyst for panic.

But you can breathe a sigh of relief with Turtle Wax Chrome Polish.

Turtle Wax Chrome Polish helps you remove rust stains from your car’s chrome finish, while leaving your car’s chrome looking polished.

Clearing light rust is a non-scrubbing technique with Loctite Extend Rust Neutralizer.

Rust Neutralizer attacks light, isolated rust by dissolving the rust at its source or by neutralizing it that prevents the rust from spreading.

If you’re in a rush to remove pesky rust from your engine, a two-in-one rust converter and metal primer will attack rust and seal the metal to prevent future oxidation.

VHT Rust Converter Spray also prevents rust by changing the rust on a chemical level.

Severe rust problems require an orbital sander to perform a chemical application.

Rust removal products can be environmentally friendly.

WD-40 is one of the most environmentally conscious ways to remove rust because it is biodegradable.

WD-40 has been shown to be especially useful in cleaning the brakes of electric vehicles (EV), motorcycle cake reports.

EV brakes often work through a regenerative braking system.

Regenerative braking systems use an EV motor as a generator to convert lost kinetic braking energy into stored energy for the car’s battery.

Key benefits of regenerative braking include improved mileage and a longer-lasting braking system.

But regenerative braking also has a downside.

Regenerative braking often involves a vehicle reserving its traditional calipers and discs for emergency braking assistance.

A lack of traditional braking system stress can CAUSE EV braking systems to become more susceptible to rust.

Your recommendation for removing rust at home comes courtesy of a do-it-yourselfer, Bob Vila†

Bob says, “Put cream of tartar in a bowl with equal parts baking soda, then add a little hydrogen peroxide until you reach a paste-like consistency. Rub this mixture over the rusty object, let it sit for an hour, then wash it.” [off]†
