Default A little help please

I need the name of a good rust removal product.
Got some minor rust stains in the engine compartment walls.
There painted with the typical splatter paint effect and I dont want to repaint cause I'll never match the pattern. Need something that will remove stains and not paint.
Thanks
Dan

Try "Lime Away". It removes hard water stains in my fiberglass shower almost instantly. You can get it at any supermarket.

Lime-a-way won't work on rust. Some of the product that mix different acids together might. In the past I've found that the pink navel jelly works good on light rust stains. It won't work on deep pits and scaling.

The CLR worked fairly well...got most of it off, but there was still a light yellow streak, Used the old standby...Acetone...now its all gone.
Thanks guys
