rust remover
Oxidation fighting solution
A rust remover is a chemical product or solution designed to dissolve or loosen iron oxide from metal surfaces.
Most contain acids or chelating agents that break down rust without damaging the underlying metal: Apply the rust remover and let it sit for ten minutes before scrubbing.
The term also applies to mechanical tools like wire brushes marketed for the same purpose.
