Default Rust cleaner effectiveness etc.

I used some Loctite Naval Jelly Rust dissolver on this lock.

Totally useless as "teats on a whatever."

What is effective?

Would prefer something that cleans and reacts with the leftover rust after the item has been brushed.

The lock is cheap.

Used for my bicycle which is kept outside under a plastic tarp.


Keeping a bicycle under a plastic tarp is useless for *preventing rust*.
They sweat under the tarp thereby staying damp all the time. You may as
well store your bike in a sauna.

I have been using spray silicone for the insides, but also have PB catalyst rust spray and triflow superior lubricant.

Need something that lasts longer.

Thanks,
