  • Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, easy to clean up.

Rust, a type of corrosion, is the by-product of a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen in the presence of water (moist air). In addition to anti-gun politicians, rust is one of the primary enemies to firearms, because the chemical reaction dissolves the original material found on firearms’ surfaces. Once converted into rust, those steel particles are forever gone and cannot be replaced, hence pitted surfaces when the active rust is cleaned up. Breakthrough Clean Technologies Rust Remover is sold in bottles of 2, 6 and 32 ounces with prices varying between $9.99 to $47.99, depending on volume.
