I'm located a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, and was having a difficult time preventing rust from attacking my table saw, jointer, and planer even though I frequently applied silicone-free paste wax to the cast iron surfaces.I first used the "Rust Free" product to remove the surface rust. It's an acid solution, and caused a bit of irritation even though I had plenty of ventilation. My tools had only a very thin layer of surface rust, and the product removed it effortlessly. However, due to its caustic nature, I think I'll go back to my old rust removal method of a kerosene and a rag if I have to deal with similar conditions. But if I'm ever faced with more severe case of rust, I know what to use.I then sprayed a think layer of "Boesheild T-9" on the cast iron; left it overnight; and wiped it off the next morning. The excess was somewhat difficult to remove --- very sticky and waxy. But it was well worth it! I haven't had a spot of rust on...Read more

I've been using T-9 for some years. Of the three items, the T-9 is really worth the cleaner and rust buster put together. It's too bad they're selling the kit and not T-9 by itself.The rust cleaner is average. Flitz cleans better and is more versatile. The blade cleaner did clean but certainly not nine dollars better than a few ounces of Oil Eater, which cleaned gummy blades and bits lots faster. T-9 RULEZ when it comes to keeping rusty crusty away from anything metal. It was even a good defense against a male dog's dislike of a metal bench and handtruck kept outside. It does stay sticky a long while so don't spritz and expect it to be instantly usable. Wet T-9 can stain cardboard boxes and fabric. The best anti-rust protection comes after letting it dry in a thick film.I don't like T-9 on machine table tops except for storage, where it is the best thing EVER. It's sticky though. You have to clean hard before you can use the tool. The goo can get on wood and it takes strong...Read more

My first exposure with this product produced good results to remove the rust and soil stains from my table saw. The Rust Free contains a mild acidic base. Several applications were necessary to remove all the rust and soil stains. Good ventilation should be provided to avoid the fumes. I had a problem with the spray bottle freezing up on me from so much pumping. I had to "rest" it for a few seconds and then continue pumping every now and then. The use of a spray bottle in this case is not such a good idea since it is hard to be accurate spraying an acidic solution--getting it on the paint is inevitable. I switched to a small sponge instead, the sixe of a half dollar, which worked very well and much faster. I could see the rust and soil stains being lifted off with each application.I sprayed two light coats of the T-9 after the cleaning and the results were immediately apparent--the table saw looked brand new. I have also been using the T-9 on the shafts of my router...Read more
