Hello all, I picked up a qt. of "White Ox'' rust stain remover from Harbor Freight and just tried using it on two bottles, one had been soaking for months in standard household cleaner with zero results. I rinsed it out and added some sand and shook for several minutes with zero results again! The bottle is a paper label 60's wine bottle so I did not want to use the Drill method and damage label, so I decided to try the " White Ox" and as I was pouring it into the bottle I could see debris falling off the sides. I let it sit 5 minutes and rinsed with hot water and it looked like a new bottle. So I tried it on a 80's RC dug bottle and with no scrubbing the same results. I am impressed and look forward to trying this on different types of stains. I will post before and after pic's of the RC bottle.No Drill, No mess, I like that!! Thanks, Kevin..

Hello Iggyworf, I think it was around 15.00 for 32 oz. bottle. I tried another bottle that been sitting in a crate for years, It had severe dried coke inside and I filled it about a third full and corked it and just shook it for about a minute, rinsed it out and this is the results. by the way, I have strained the White Ox through a cloth to re-use it as it is a little pricy. I really wish I would have found this a long time ago. I also had a bottle that was dug with the cap on it and was really rusted around the lip, dipped it in the cleaner for about a minute and a rag wiped it clean.

Hi, Does it have the active ingrediant on the package? I've tried about everything lately,nada. I did go to their site and they recomend you don't use it on glass or windows. Carfull with the old glass just in case. Don

Hello Dumpdiver, The bottle reads removes rust stains from painted surfaces,plastic,sinks, toilets,showers and more. All I know is that I personally will continue to use it on my bottles. I guess if you were to leave it in for a long time it may effect the bottle, I just tried it today for the first time and my bottles have not melted or dulled !! Like you said, if you don't safe using it then I would not use it. I rinsed my bottles out with soap and hot water right away with no problems to my glass. The two main ingredient is Hydrofluoric acid and oxalic acids.

Thanks, I'll have to add Hydrofloric to my arsenol of cleaners. Lately been experimenting with boat bottom cleaners with the same limited luck as the rest of them. Hopefully you've found the Holy Grail. Thanks from all...Don
