Fun Fact: This stuff is the main ingredien in... Barkeeper's Friend. "Bar Keepers Friend (BKF) is a brand of industrial-strength, bleach-free cleansers that contain a variety of ingredients, including: Oxalic acid: A white crystalline organic compound that's known for removing rust, hard water stains, and mineral deposits. BKF's oxalic acid is usually sourced from plant waste by industrial suppliers. Feldspar: A mild abrasive Linear sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate: A surfactant Detergent: Helps wash away grime and food from pans "

Anytime I apply this, I’m wearing respirators, chemical gloves, goggles and protective pants. Your a brave soul. That stuff is pretty dangerous.

You can also use citric acid which less caustic. Less dangerous. Critic acid like oxalic acts like a cheating agent/anti oxidant which is good for rust removal. (Although I made 30% citric acid solution) and it was thick and sticky.

"I'm pumped up" Me too bro

Mike, thanks for the video.

Thanks...great channel!!!

That enough...that should do it....and one more little pour must be the magic amount of "snot aid."

If you cut out this refraction it will work much much better. The surfactant causes the oxalic not to work itself into the pores as well.

Heck yea bro

I wear a respirator. That stuff burns. PPE all the way. Great video. Thank you

Amazing

Mix it in the drum 1st, then pour into the sprayer.

Appreciate your videos - they are really informative - can you send a link for the snotmenede?

Do u need to soak the grass on the edges when treating the whole driveway like you would a hot mix treatment of sh?

Use proper ppe!! - Oxalic Acid can affect you when inhaled and by passing through the skin. -Oxalic Acid is CORROSIVE and contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes with possible eye damage. - Inhaling Oxalic Acid can irritate the nose, throat and lungs causing coughing, wheezing and/or shortness of breath. - Exposure to Oxalic Acid can cause headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, coma and even death. - Prolonged or repeated contact can cause a skin rash, pain, redness, blisters, and slow healing ulcers. -Oxalic Acid may damage the kidneys. -- Exposure may affect the nervous system.

Works better in landscape mode

Hey Mike, quick question what kind of rust is that. Metal or well water ? Thanks bro!

What’s up, will this work good on hardi plank siding? Where the ac drains it left a big rust stain on the 2nd story.

Yea should work

We used a 2% SH mix to surface clean a concrete patio. Then spot sprayed rust stains with Oxalic Acid and rinsed off. The spots where we sprayed the OA were much brighter and left it blotchy. Should we treat the whole surface with OA to make it look uniform?

Yes that's exactly what you should do. Same with F9 barc. Always clean the entire pad to keep it uniform.

This is exactly what happened to me the first time I did rust removal. I had to treat a 1,200 sq/ft area to balance everything out.

Question. If it comes back in 5 days, did i not leave it on long enough or what couls it be? They have well water

Is that f8 from PT ??? I got a sample pack John recommended i think its in there has a cow 🐄 on the bottle lol 😆

If you want to treat a smaller area and want it pre made and less concentrated, bar keepers friend is oxalic acid powder too pot and pans if the strongest. And if you need it to stop working straight away, baking soda is a great counter agent

What is the difference between Ox and the Napa aluminum brightener?

@bethelgues3918

Different chemicals and reagents. For example "aluminum beightener" contains sulfuric acid, among other things. Honestly use what best for you, but if you clean windows, and are trying to remove rust off of metal use oxalic or citric acid. They prevent rust while you're cleaning the part (sulfuric acid for example is a strong oxidizer which promotes rusting, which doesnt matter for aluminum). Citric is safe enough can touch with your bare hands (of course I wouldnt drink it or squirt into my eyes)

Mike it’s James with JBJ pressure washing and soft washing. I’m have problems with this I used hot water and shook it up in a two gallon sprayer, it clogged up my sprayer and all the acid went to the bottom of the sprayer. Any suggestions I appreciate it a lot .
