Both.
The Specialist is better at dissolving rust.
Plain old WD 40 is great, too.

Hi Bill,
Please post before and after photos of the rust removal.
I would like to see how well it works.

Greetings, mr. sammy the blade-

Do you use said spray AS a favorite lube to aid you into your Unitard for your unicycle whilst your bike winters ? I would gladly spray that blight of sight, but not with WD40, more like orange hazard paint with bear spray, ..or 9mm.

Just trying to help you out, way out...

AS ever,
Your ol' pal,

Thanks, but no thanks! Tried it as a lube once but that girl no longer talks with me. Can't say I blame her either.

I used WD-40 for years on my guns and knives, I found something a little better, "Rem oil", made for gun cleaning it works wonders on knives too.

My son recommended rem oil. I haven’t tried it yet.
I have a little bit of rust on my bike. I’m going to try the specialist.
