Frequently Asked Questions
Does Redex Bala remove rust?
It helps loosen light rust and protect the surface against further oxidation. For deep rust removal, use a specific rust remover and sandpaper/brush.
Does it work with electrical contacts?
It helps repel moisture on simple metal contacts (when switched off and cold). For sensitive electronics, it uses specific non-conductive cleaners.
