Rust removal - toilet bowl cleaner?

[John Larkin]

Crazy idea but toilet bowl cleaner is basically hydrocholoric acid with some perfume, coloring, and thickening agent. Phosphoric acid is generally used for rust removal but I wonder if the hydrochloric acid would work just as well. I'll try some rusty metal this weekend and see what happens. Just wondering if anyone had every tried this before. At least if it doesn't work, it'll make something clean enough for me to crap on, LOL.

Use Wd-40. Its cheaper and more effective.

As much rust that is under my GN, it would disappear if you got the toilet cleaner on it. LOL
