If left unattended to, rust can eat away components in a gas grill or braai. Rust occurs when a reaction takes place between oxygen and iron in the presence of water. This means that metal components are slowly being destroyed at the steel is converted into rust. A rust converter stop the rust process and prevents any further damage to previously rusty components.

This means that metal components are slowly being destroyed as the steel is converted into rust. A rust converter stop the rust process and prevents any further damage to previously rusty components.
We used a rust converter that we purchased at Builders on a gas grill, particularly along the burners and burner components, where rust had started to take hold. If left untreated, these components would have required replacement, but a quick and easy treatment with rust converter converted the rust and stopped the rusting process.
Application is easy: simply clean the components and rub down with a wire brush. Use a paintbrush to apply a liberal amount of rust converter to the rusted areas. You will see that where applied, the rust converter turns blue-black where the rust is neutralised. If this colour change does not occur you may need to remove, clean again and re-apply the product.
The product needs to sit on the components for about 4 to 6 hours and can then be rinsed away with clean water. DO make sure to wipe the components dry after cleaning.
GOOD TO KNOW: For stubborn areas you can use a pot scourer to remove surface grime or rust.
