          This month sees the start of a new competition

Following the highly successful introduction of Restore Rust Remover, we are being contacted by customers who have found many diverse and interesting applications for the product than we had originally thought possible.  Restoration of wood and metalworking tools is a regular application.  An extreme example of what can be achieved with Restore Rust Remover can be seen below.  We have customers who are restoring farm machinery - both new and antique, arms and armour restorers, museum conservators, classic car and motorcycle restorers, gunsmiths and clock restorers to name just a few.

What we would like to know is what are you using Restore Rust Remover for? either the liquid version or the gelled product.  If you think you have an interesting story to tell and a few pictures that might interest others - preferably 'before and after', please email me with a brief 'story' and a couple of photographs.

We will build up a 'library' of photographs and information over the coming months so that others can see what can be achieved with Restore Rust Remover.


Because it is a competition there has to be a prize!  The photograph/application that is judged the most interesting will receive Shield Technology products and the winning photograph will feature on the News page of the website each month.

Good Woodworking Magazine
test Restore Rust Remover Gel

In Issue 216 of Good Woodworking Magazine, Editor Andy King tests Restore Rust Remover Gel. To read the review click here to open the PDF file.

Restore Rust Remover faces its biggest challenge so far. A colleague brought in a Stanley No 5 plane that had been left out over winter in a shed that had partially collapsed. As you can see from the photograph below, the Plane looked as though it had been dragged up off the sea bed! However, the rust was completely removed in approximately 5 hours. To see larger pictures and to see how it was achieved click here. It should be pointed out that the photographs have NOT been digitally enhanced or altered in any way.

Restore Rust Remover Gel - reviewed in MEW Magazine Issue No. 151 P.56 - 'TRADE COUNTER'

Restore Rust Remover Gel - "this is great product and I will certainly be using it in the future. Restore Rust Remover Gel is highly recommended, it does what it says on the bottle and does it well" - David Clark, Editor of Model Engineer's Workshop magazine. Read the full review (in PDF format) by clicking here


"Over the years I have used many different brands and types of rust remover and none has been  completely satisfactory. Restore Rust Remover Gel on the other hand really works well, it is simple and safe to use, but the speed with which it removes rust sets it apart from other products - it has to be seen to be believed - an incredible product"  N. Woodworth

Restore Rust Remover Gel only removes rust - not sound metal, it is non-toxic, biodegradable and available in the same pack sizes as the liquid version and at the same prices.

250ml RRP £13.99
500ml RRP £24.75
