Need to remove some rust from your car but worried about damaging the paint? Your car is important to you and you want to take good care of it, so fortunately, there’s something you can use to remove rust from metal without damaging paint – WD-40.
WD-40 is designed to loosen the bonds between rust and the metal surface it has adhered to by penetrating the porous layer of rust and using its lubricating properties to loosen it. To remove surface rust, simply spray it on the rusted surface, leave it for around ten minutes and let it get to work on the surface rust. Once it’s loosened, it can be scrubbed away easily with a light abrasive on surfaces without paint. You can avoid further damage to the paint by masking the surface while you work on the rust. And because WD-40 also protects against corrosion, it gives great temporary rust protection too.
