Rust stains on Duraliner bed
.... re-posted here from General Automotive forum
I'm new to the forums and haven't done any searches for this topic, but have used Google and couldn't come up with any hits. I just bought my 99 Ranger with a Duraliner installed. It looks great except for 2 small rust stains (from metal objects). Has anyone found a "safe" cleaner that will get rid of them? I used "Oxygen 8 Citrus" all-purpose cleaner diluted and it didn't budge them. I hesitate to use toothpaste as it would "bleach" the liner I'd think. I've emailed Durakon website, but doubt they'll be much help. Is the only option "touch up paint" to cover them? Just curious if anyone has done this type maintenance on theirs. Love 'dem Fords

Update on rust removal. Just ask a redneck from WV. My rust spots are now history. If you only have a few rust spots, a "pink-pearl" eraser does wonders. One spot isn't completely gone, so I'm moving up to an "ink eraser" to finish the job. My friend only has one fault, he drives a Dodge Ram. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Hope this helps someone else out there. My Ranger is looking great now. Next is another wax job on the beautiful black paint job.

Cont'd - Rust in Duraliner bed
... I feel funny replying to my own post, but here's a response from J. Mapley/Durakon :
"Rudy:
Thank you for writing: There is a product out on the market called CLR it
is in a Gray Bottle and you should be able to pick it up at your local
Meyer or Kmart or any hardware store. CLR stands for Calcium, Lime, and
Rust removal this product will not damage the liner. Please advise me of
any other questions or concerns. Thank you and have a great day."
.... I'll have to see if it's available around here. Maybe this'll help out sombody else as well.
Rudy .... I'm done. Now to finish waxing my beautiful black beauty.
