July 20, 20233 yr Wheelbarrow left on outdoor porcelain patio tiles for about 10 days. Quite a bit of rain. Wheelbarrow has finally been moved and now there are patches of rust on the tiles where the barrow’s “feet” were resting on the tiles. There appear to be a multitude of products online for removing rust. Anyone have any recommendation as to a particularly good one?

When I finally do decide to move it and rust footprint appears a bit of cif fixes it . I then move the work bench back to sit idle for a few more years .
