WD-40® Multi-Use Product can help loosen and remove light surface rust by penetrating between the metal and the corrosion. It is particularly effective when used alongside mechanical action, such as brushing. To use, apply the product to the affected area and allow it to penetrate for a few minutes. Use a wire brush or abrasive pad to remove the loosened rust, and wipe away any residue. Repeat if necessary.

Once the surface is clean, a light reapplication can help protect against moisture and future corrosion.

For heavier or more established rust, a dedicated rust removal product may be more suitable. Always follow the instructions on the product label during use.
