I've been using this for the last year or so, really good stuff but expensive. I paid £17-18 for a litre. I needed some more as mine has now lost its umph. I found that Toolstation has an offer on £37.48 for 5 litres plus free delivery. Bought some yesterday & delivered today.
Just a heads-up.

I bought some from Toolstation last year. I need some more, so I'll get some ordered now. Thanks.

I recently watched this video on YouTube....
https://youtu.be/fVYZmeReKKY?si=I4J0E2Uqx7Akjj74 to make your own Evapo-Rust alternative. I haven't tried it yet but, at a fraction of the cost and longer lasting, I will give it a go.
Recipe:
Per 1 litre of water.
1: 100 grams Citric Acid.
2: 40 grams Sodium Carbonate
or 63 Grams Sodium Bicarbonate
or 30 grams Sodium Hydroxide.
After reaction has completed, add final ingredient.
3: Arbitrary amount of washing-up liquid.

I finally got around to giving this a go and it works very well. I will report back on the longevity of the mix at a later date.
I left the parts in the mix over night , about 22 hours in all.
