Pipe rust removal

Any good products to remove the rust from my pipe got spots of rust but near where its attached underneath its really orange. Thanks i appreciate your help

 

Hammerite rust remover is good and doesn't affect paint like a lot of products. Hard wire brush will do the job though tbh

 

will halfords sell the hammerrite do youu think ?

 

Yeah thats where I get it. £6 or so for 500ml which makes about 3-4 litres once you add water.

 

will 1 500 ml be enough and which 1 is it lol theres loads have a look at this link http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...earch&storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1

 

500ml should be fine unless you have lots of very rusty stuff to do. It has to be diluted remember http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_187229_langId_-1_categoryId_165594

If its more surface rust than anything its worth trying wire brush first IMO

 

ok mate do i have to scrub it with sanding paper after yh ? And can i just leave the pipe on through the whole process ?

 

I use a brush personally but yeah rinse then medium grit should be fine. This particular stuff is a bit drippy so you have to remove, I believe they do a gel which is basically the same thing but not as drippy so you don't have to.

so i put the stuff on then sand it down and then ?

 

Put it on, leave it for a bit, brush/sand. Rust gone. If not then repeat..

 

ok cheers will any ordinary brush do ?

 

Wire brush really anything else will be too soft

ok last thing when i wana take the gel or the other rust stuff off of the pipe do i just get a cloff and wipe it off ? :L

 

i just got some rough sandpaper .. takes the rust off nicely imo

 

Im not a fan of sandpaper as it takes away more of the material rather than wire brushes which just scratch the surface.

 

the wire brush will remove the soft rust but the sand paper will flatten the surface making it look tidyier...but removes more material as stated above.

Supposed to brush/sand first and then apply get as it converts the rush thats left to a black substance

 

ok guys im going to do it now, can i leave the pipe on to do it because i dont actually no how to take the pipe off ?

 

yeah you sure can mate, make sure its on tight though when your doing it....

also with the sandpaper, i was doing it to get rid of tiny orange rust dots on my zorst... its worked a treat, left it faintly scratched but i dont think it matters...still shiny and looks better than rust

 

i think i have to take it off . Tried doing it earlier then realised the pipe has to soak in the solution that i bought and guess what, i dont no how to take the pipe off
