Default Super-strength rust/iron remover needed

On Fri 12 Sep 2008 09:48:42p, hr(bob) told us...

The tenants at my daughter's rental property let the bathtub faucet
drip for a couple of years, building up a
rusty area about 12 inches in diameter beneath the faucet, except
directly under the drip where the build-up was washed away. I tried a
spray-on iron/rust remover, but it only helped around the edges. I
was able to scrape off a little portion using a screwdriver, but am
scared that I may damage the tub. Can anyone recommend a super-
strength remover? I vaguely remember something about oxalic acid as
being useful, but not sure.

TIA,

Bob Hofmann
