It works great on things that will not be exposed to moisture again, 
reasonably well on lawn furniture and mowers,  not well at all on 
vehicles.   My best results on vehicles are had by sanding off the rust, 
washing  the spot with soap and water, rinsing well, heating the spot 
with a heat gun to about 250 degrees, then coating when it has cooled to 
"hot cup of coffee"  temperature with Rust Oleum  Rusty Metal Primer.  
If you want to get rich, invent something that is easy to use, safe, and 
actually works as well as the others advertise.
