Rust

[PRH]

Ha, knew that would get your attention but it's not on the truck. I moved a used patio set over the weekend and the table legs were full of rusty water (ask my new jacket darn it)! That proceeded to release all in the box liner (drop in from Factory). Now I'm having one heck of a time getting it to come clean. Tried a bristle brush and some Mr. Clean and good old fashioned elbow grease ( I haven't worked that arm like that in a long time , thought I'd beat you to the punch - ha ha). I like to keep the bed and box liner clean so that I can put anything back there, evert things that should ideally go in the cab.

Any thoughts, ideas?

Had similar problem with my Ranger bed with a drop-in. So Maverick has a SIBL....(LineX) so much better, and seems bullet proof after 2 years.

My snowblower drips a bit of rusty water on my finished garage floor. Simple Green takes it right off. There are a lot of flavors of it, I've used the automotive degreaser and it works well for a lot of stuff.

If that doesn't do it, you could try CLR. I've used CLR with a stiff brush to get rusted-on brake dust off of the backside of alloy wheels.

Try letting cheap Coca-Cola soak for a while, then hit it with a scouring pad. Add ice & rum to remainder of CC to celebrate the result!!

Any acidic cleaner should remove rust stains. Try cleaning vinegar. I used it to remove stains and scale from vinyl siding. Worst case scenario use an acid based toilet cleaner. Just be careful with that and rinse well!

Thanks all for the good advice... I was half-expecting someone to say "start treating it like a truck" (never going to happen - my baby)! Thanks again and enjoy the long weekend!
