10 Best Rust Removers UK 2022 | Rust-Oleum, Jenolite and More

Jenolite is Europe's oldest rust removal brand, having been in operation since 1939 and used on some of the world's most iconic buildings including Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. This spray bottle is great for any hard-to-reach places like under the wheel arch of a car or outdoor cabinets.

You simply spray on, wait fifteen minutes, and spray again before waiting another fifteen mins and wiping the rust away. As well as being incredibly trustworthy, it's simple, easy, and effective, making it the best rust remover available in the UK today.

If you're looking for an all-purpose liquid concentrate for a wide variety of items, this rust remover from HG fits the bill nicely. You can apply the liquid concentrate directly to outside fencing or furniture with a paintbrush, or dilute it with water to submerge tools and other objects. 

This powerful rust dissolved evaporates very slowly when directly applied, staying active for a long time. There's no need for sanding afterwards either, as the item is ready for repainting and varnishing immediately after treatment. 

This non-drip gel from Hammerite is a little different to the liquid concentrates and spray solutions in that it is designed to not damage paintwork or other surfaces. It can also be applied to vertical surfaces without any danger of it falling off.

While it's not as strong as some liquid concentrate solutions, it's perfect for spot-cleaning objects. If you have items that just have a few noticeable areas of rust and don't require a full restoration job, this is a fantastic choice that will last a while.

While not technically a rust remover, there aren't many better options than the Reformer from Rust-Oleum when looking to mask and prevent a rust spot from growing. It's also perfect for those planning to spruce up a bike frame or car panel before repainting.

Where this rust primer spray really shines is in restoration, so if the items you have in mind are outside furniture, wood burners, or the like, you won't be disappointed. You won't even need to repaint afterwards if you're working with anything black.

If you have a pile of rusty old tools or similar-sized items, the best option is to submerge them into a liquid rust remover. This pre-made solution from EVAPO-RUST is ready to go straight out of the bottle, so there's no measuring or diluting required.

This product is also reusable, meaning that you actually get quite a lot of value out of the 5000 ml even if you decide to use it all at once rather than rationing it out. It's well worth the investment when working with entirely metal items, which it'll have looking as good as new in a matter of minutes.

Easy4Rust by Azpects is an incredibly powerful rust remover that's capable of removing rust stains from stone, granite, and wood. It's non-acidic too, meaning that it works by turning rust compounds into a water-soluble solution rather than being corrosive.

This is a premium, professional-grade option that won't leave any damage or marks to paintwork or surfaces, making it the best choice for a patio area and painted garden furniture. It's not a great option for tools and vehicles as it's designed to remove rust stains rather than de-rust metal objects.

This is a thicker liquid version of our number one pick, sitting somewhere in between a concentrate and gel in terms of consistency. It's designed to be directly applied to a surface with a brush. Just like the spray, this does the job in under an hour and is great for any bodywork, boats, or caravans.

While a fantastic product that boasts some of the best results on the market, this small bottle may not be the most economically viable if you have a large surface area to cover. If you're looking to spruce up a few rust spots, however, this is an excellent choice.

The Deox Gel Rust Remover from Bilt Hamber is something of a hidden gem with its non-descript packaging and sparse description. It's an extremely effective rust remover while being non-toxic and biodegradable.

If you're happy to leave the gel on the surface you're looking to clean for a day or two, you're going to be very pleasantly surprised with the fantastic results. For something a little more fast-acting, however, you'd best look elsewhere. 

This gel rust remover from Valdern is non-drip and fast-acting: simply brush on and you'll see visible results almost immediately. This 250 ml bottle covers one square metre and leaves the surface re-paintable within half an hour.

As you only get 250 ml, this could be considered a more expensive option. But if you're using it sparingly for spot cleaning, it will last a surprisingly long time. This is one of the better options for boat and yacht keels, though bear in mind you may need the aid of a wire brush.

The Deruster from Nano Go is a bit of a mystery, working rather well as a rust treatment option for cars and motorcycles thanks to the handy spray nozzle getting in those hard-to-reach places. It doesn't contain any acid or chlorine and is completely free from corrosive substances.

Unfortunately, many customers have been disappointed in the stain removal side of this product, so it might not be great for a patio. As something that works well as a spray, this is still a brilliant option to consider.
