[GreenKeys] Rust Removers: Experience?

[epvgk at limpoc.com]

Evapo-rust works great just by immersion overnight. It will remove protective 
treatments like parkerizing, bluing, etc which can result in treated parts 
becoming more prone to rusting again afterward. 

As far as removing rust, they all work but the gel ones (phosphoric acid I think)
are more work and probably no better no better in performance.
