Default Rust spots cleaning
In article .com,
says...


I used to store my boat near a RR trestle and every spring would have
to remove freckles from the deck caused by minute steel molecules. We
all used dilute muriatic acid very carefully.

Muriatic aciud is the very best. Put it on the rust spot, let it rest a
bit and flush away with plenty of water. It converts the insoluble and
red iron oxide to soluble iron chloride.
