- 2). Scrub the rust with a steel wool pad, wire brush or scrubbing pad. These products remove small rust spots and surface rust.

Wait five to 15 minutes for the rust remover to dissolve the rust. Rust removers are very effective in quickly removing rust. Most rust removers have acids like hydrochloric acid as the main ingredient.
