    thanks vwnat 1 idint know that they used that on floors to cleain them before they glue the vinieal down . my dad has used the green stuff in a clear bottle . you brush or spray it on meatle it turns black but it also chocks you up . nasty crap . but kill the rust on it track. it a bout $20.00 a quart . but ill try what your talking about . can i mix it with well water and spray it with a pump up sprayer . i have a lot of rust i want to take care of before i patch the old trucks up . like my 1971 checy c-10 has a leak above the wind shild and its rust out bad so im figuring im going to have to pull the wind sheild out to fix the hole . and i have new ruber seal to go back . . and my 1955 chevy 3100 needs floor patch panels weld back in . i have them . it all in time . it a projects .

    one thing I have not seen mentioned here is how the fumes from the acid will cause rust to any steel or iron it comes in contact with, keep that stuff far away from your garage, tools, vehicles, etc.

    Only muriatic acid fumes will do this ~ oxylic and phosphoric acids won't .
