I wasn't talking about using it for heavily encrusted parts. Just for some 
rack panels that have a few light rust spots on them. I'm suprised that 
someone mentioned there are polishing/abrasive components in the stuff. I 
never used naval jelly on a rag and scrubbed to remove the rust. I dabbed on 
a tiny amount on the rust spot, then about 30 minutes later just wiped it 
off with a damp rag. Rust was gone. No scrubbing or polishing required.

There are some of my racks that have large areas of a VERY light mist of 
rust. I would wipe on some naval jelly, then a few minutes later wipe it off 
with a damp rag and then a dry rag. As I said, I've never seen it take off 
paint although I guess that's possible.
