With concerns over toxicity and ozone depleation, there has been a great deal of research for effective replacements for long known cleaners. One plant based chemical that attacks corrosion is oleic acid, which comes from olives. I will make a guess the Superzilla contains it. Combined with the citrus oils that many cleaners have, it may indeed cause oxidation to break it's bond with metals. Phosphoric acid is also effective in removing oxides and used in some rust removers. One very desirable feature of a cleaner for teletype equipment and mechanical calculators is the ability to soak into bearings and get out oxidized and rancid oil and grease that has turned to varnish.

I recently started seeing advertisements for Superzilla.  It sounds like a miracle rust remover.  Has anyone seen it or used it?  

It doesn't quite say it's a rust *remover*, does it?

Secret ingredients.  "Plant-based."  So orange oil or other volatiles?
