I have some nasty looking rust spots our cement path from the iron bench we have. I tried CLR a few years ago without any success.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of them would be appreciated.

Thanks.

"The Works" toilet bowl cleaner (Walmart) might do it, or muriatic acid...

I hear that Visine "gets the red out." But, rust never sleeps.

Seriously though, how about lime away. It's supposed to work on rust spots. Don't know how well on cement though.
