Apparently the Craftex one is superb. Not tried it myself though..

Amazing that a company like prochem can bring out a rust remover that's crap. The picked up a bottle of rust remover from a guy who was retiring, it's from a company called caliber, best I have used . Currently using craftex rust remover,it's good.

The big difference between the Craftex and Prochem Rust removers is that Prochems is ph2.5 whereas Craftex is ph1 which is quite a difference.
Prochem seem to be quite risk averse.... but sometimes you need the hard stuff.

Having said that I have had success with Prochems Rust remover in the past.

Well peeps going to have to be craftex............I have tried prochem rust remover on a few occasions with no success. I understand they need to be careful but no point in selling something that has (in my opinion) a low success rate.

Rust remover IS Phosphoric acid - they're all the same, maybe apart from dilution rate. You can buy Phosphoric acid from Ebay, dilute down to what you can handle.

work fine im sure  ...   many of the branded ones contain oxalic and hydrofluoric also or a blend of all , also benifical to have a penetrant onboard to get it into the fibers

Be Careful... we are talking about acids here....Hydrofluoric Acid can be dangerous (it may be a banned substance these days)... WEAR CHEMICAL RESIST GLOVES .
