I was regurgitating what others had said on this forum, other forums and reviews without checking that is was citric acid and various chelates. It doesn't actualy state its full composition anywhere. However it is acidic, according to this safety spec sheet, a 1% solution has a ph of 3.5 to 4% and they recommend between 5% and 20% for the powder.
Anyhow, I use the Deox-c gel on awkward/big parts that I can't get in a bucket, citric acid on stuff that I'm not too worried about the finish and want to save cash on and I'm liking Evaporust for parts where you want to be nice and gentle. Works for me.

There seems to be quite a few of the chelating types on the market now. Evaporust is the most well-known. MC-51 also.

We need a 'Project Farm' test to determine price/perfomance data.

Not done anything yet as I've had a few enforced duvet days due to shoulder & spine probs kicking off again.

I can send you a couple of bottles of decent Scotch in exchange for it!

Got some cameras with alarms on order because recent purchases have prompted my brain to realise how much of a pain it would be if the workshop got broken in to..

Finally, someone else has noted that it etches some metals.
Everybody usually disagrees when I say that.
