HOW TO STOP RUST? The best way to get rid of rust is to try and stop it from forming in the first place. To prevent rust iron or steel should be painted as soon as it looks a little tired and faded. This should be done by removing any grease from the surface with white spirit, then applying a metal primer and finally a gloss paint or one designed for steel or iron.

WHAT CAUSES RUST? When oxygen in moist air reacts with iron, it forms Iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3, or rust. It is also a chemical change.
