It has zero abrasives and will remove rust like magic on contact. We use it on the yachts all of the time. Just don't get it on your skin though. Seriously.

I scrubbed the entire deck with a scrub brush and the BKF and while ithe deckwas not spotless, there was a dramatic improvement! I think that one more time will do it. I hope some of you out there give a try! Mike
