Default I need some advice please

Hi everyone so my chevy has some visual issues. It has some rust on it. It is an older model, however I was wondering if i could take some of that rust off. I looked up how to take off rust online and I found this site{SITE DELETED BY MODERATOR} does anyone know if this stuff is safe and if it works as good as it says it does? Thank you.

Advertisers LIE.

I have never seen a Before/After

picture comparison which wasn't

total fabrication.

IF you want to remove rust, try what everybody else

has been using dependably for centuries:

Vinegar(soak)

wire brush and elbow grease(apply vigorously)

thick oil or light grease(apply sparingly)

Now, please edit this advertiser's link from your

post...

Is your vinegar method safe on the body surface? I did end up buying the stuff from the post, i bought a concentrated gel form, i will try and post pics of before and after.

Isolate the area with newspaper and masking tape. Feather a surface area

around the rust area at least 3/4", being sure the area around the rust is

bare metal. Then sparingly apply vinegar to the rust only with an

applicator, a q-tip,etc. Dry. Wash. Carefully sand to bare metal, and prime.

Finishing techniques I leave to the Body Shop guys.
