My new panel saw was delivered 2 weeks ago, although it was covered but it did rain on the day and water got to it, the saw costed a small fortune and I waited 2 years for it so I was a little frustrated with the stain, its like you bought an Lamborghini and on the first day it rained and you cant get off the water stain. the semi retired technician who came to site to commission the saw said to use Scotch brite but it didnt quite work, I did a bit of research online and it seems the only way to get the stain completely off was to sand it.

I know there must be a chemical solution that I can use before I go down the destructive sanding path, went to Bunnings to have a look and found this Autosol Rust EX, it looks promising, cost $19, thought I give it a try, took it home, followed the instruction, lightly scrubbed with sponge, and the results are immediate. I cant find the traces of the stain even if I am staring at where they used to be.
The instruction says to wash it off with water, I used a dry cloth to rub it off, could use Simple Green?
Dont leave it on for too long though, it will create a layer of very thin and very light rust, comes off very easily but take note.
The blurry stuff on the table top is Silbergleit
