Removed a fire extinguisher bracket and will not install new one in
the same place. Nasty rust stain. Are there good solvents for this or
should I use a polishing compound?

Thanks!

You can try Starbrite's "Rust Stain Remover". I haven't tried it but they make
it for use on fiberglass.

I've heard muriatic acid, Rust Aid, or Barkeeper's Friend. I have the same
problem, but haven't tried any of 'em yet.

CLR from Wal-mart about $5 removed the rust stains from my pool's diving
board.

Try a product called ZAP. It worked for me.

My recommendation is Barkeepers friend. I tried it based on
other recommendations in this newsgroup. I really didn't think
there was any hope of removing the rust stains left by my anchor
chain. It's can't be as easy as I'm remembering, but it seemed to
me that it almost just wiped the stains right off. I think it's
under two bucks at WallyWorld.

Oxalic acid crystals from a paint store. It's the ingredient that makes
Barkeepers Friend and CLR work and a lot cheaper in its raw form.

Apply and let work for five or ten minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Barkeeper's friend has oxalic acid in it, which makes it very good at
removing rust stains. FSR is a blue gel that also has oxalic acid in it and
works very well.

Try repeated applications of table (white) vinegar.
