Rust Stain

Any suggestions as to how to remove a rust stain from a white vinal seat. Just realised its been touching the BBQ in the garage over winter.

Thanks

Andy

IMO try Y10 or similar - it's Oxalic acid based so so could score a small sample of that off Amazon instead and try it made up with some wallpaper paste.

Pikey, is it true that they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary?

Careful betting against Pikey, rhubarb is packed full of Oxalic Acid, just maybe not enough to shift rust...

It works

I've used it to remove rust stains from Indian Stone patios left by iron garden furniture for years. The liquid from boiled up leaves, watered down, is also great for removing algae. Cheaper and better than "Wet & Forget"

After careful consideration I think I might stick with the Y10
