Best Way to get rust off siding?

Question

Just moved in less than 48 hrs ago to a fixer upper home. We have white siding that has rust on it that I'd like to clean off. I'm thinking a pressure washer might get the dirt off etc but other suggestions please!

Answer 1

You can opt for all of the above options, which are very fine suggestions indeed, but if you want the truly low-cost, "do-it-yourself" kind of approach then "dog p**s" works well.  It's highly corrosive and will remove everything from rust to the hair on your arm, provided that it is allowed to saturate there long enough.

To apply, simply give the dog fluid (import beers work well) and then when he (yes, male dogs work best for the purposes of aim) needs to lift his leg, quickly grab him and hold him up to the rusted areas on your home.  After he has done his job, allow the pee to remain there for no longer than 5 minutes and then scrub vigorously with a piece of 1-ply Charmin.

Answer 2

sorry wouldn't know what advice to give you but wish you best of luck in your your place!!

Answer 3

CLR

Answer 4

SOS pads, then whatever auto polish is necessary to bring back shine, or flat/matte/eggshell appearance.  You might need all of McGuiar's 3 step bottles of automobile polish, or at least the first two steps.

Answer 5

CLR or WD 40 should work if you don't have either on hand I would try the CLR first ,but wear rubber gloves so as not to cause irratation on your Beer drinking hand!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Try Coca Cola! It has enough power in it to take rust off anything. I am not kidding. The company uses it to clean stuff with. Try it!

Answer 7

Try a little WD40 on a rag, that should do the trick

Answer 8

Hi Hun, you look outstanding as usual.

I must 1st address JER says DEMS in 08 if you don't mind?

Jer, BB Doll will NOT be putting any type of hand covering to protect her hands from said cleaning material.

She will be pool side on a recliner hard at work getting nicely tanned.

Also, as supervision is a stressful job, she will need some adult beverages from time to time to time to time.

Gloves of any kind just make that happy rhythm impossible.
