Got to try this Today for the first time on a pretty good test subject... my 1998 white/never Polished(except the roof due to repaint)/paint flaking off and rust dalmatian Corolla.
I have some nasty rust on my B-Pillars and some other random spots.
first Impressions:
-Smells better when applying than straight in the bottle.
-Reacted (turned purple) IMMEDIATELY upon contact.
-I could see it removing some rust the more i sprayed on the area.
Now, I purposely sprayed it in direct sunlight to test its limitations and because i got nothing to lose by doing it on my car (better mine than a client's right?)
Observations....
- I was very hopeful after watching the below video where it gets sprayed on the back of (what looks like) a forklift covered with patches of rust that look very similar to my car's and after one application all the rust in the area seems to just rinse off.... that did not happen with mine, i ended up using over half the bottle before deciding it was time to stop . I had to do 2-3 applications(spray,wait 2 minutes,rinse, repeat) because the rust was not all coming off. In the end, it did improve, but it was still rusted. I also sprayed the hood and top of the trunk and of course there was heavy contamination. One side of the car was getting hit by the sun, and some VERY minor staining occurred on my white paint, the other side that was not affected by the sun nearly as much was however, left with a yellow stain going down the side of my car that did not come off with the wash after application.
My main question : Has anyone else experienced any staining with this or any other iron removal product? and how(if you have) were you able to remove it? I understand that common application is not going to be to clear rust of panels as heavily rusted as mine but more like specs of contamination on the paint, my main concern is whether or not this would be safe to use on a customer's car if it stained mine.
I am not putting down the product nor praising it, just giving out my observation/experience and wanted to receive your input as to what could have caused the staining and even though it was not a big deal that my B-Pillars are still showing rust, i do still wonder why did it look so effective in the video haha.

Thank you for watching/reading.
