Rust converter

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen rust growing on old metal objects like your bike or your parent's car? It makes them look all brown and crumbly, right? Well, there's something called a rust converter that you can use to make that rust go away!

Rust converter is a special liquid that you put on rusty metal surfaces. When you put it on, it reacts with the iron oxide (that's rust's scientific name) and turns it into a hard, black substance called iron tannate. You can think of it like magic potion that turns rust into something stronger and more resistant to further rust growth.

But wait, there's more! That iron tannate layer actually protects the metal underneath from further rust growth. It's like putting on a coat of armor for your metal object. So, not only does the rust go away, but the metal can stay safe and strong for longer.

That's all there is to it, kiddo. Just put on the rust converter and say bye-bye to the rust!
