How to clean rust in hard to reach points on a tool

Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. I wish I took before/after pics.

Bought:

Jomax

Clorox Outdoor

Put in a garden sprayer designed for bleach according to instructions on Jomax:

• 3/4 cups Jomax
• 2 1/4 cups bleach
• 13 cups water

For 75% of the siding, I applied the mixture, then rinsed after 5 minutes. A number of sections needed a second application, and the worst section took three.

I rinsed using one of the "fireman" nozzles on my hose, just so I could get it up to the eaves:

I did try just spraying the mildew with the nozzle...worthless. "Firemen" should sue for defamation.

Anyway, I'm thrilled. Probably took 25% longer than last year, but I wasn't dripping wet either :) I'll get a power sprayer for next year, but I'll definitely stick with this; it looks much better than what I get from pressure washing alone.

Exactly how you would in a car. Get rust out, bondo, prime, paint. Just painting the areas well to keep the moisture out will help a lot although not a long-term fix. Could also just replace that piece of metal or add another piece on top of it.
