Jay,
I was referring to electrolysis.
I don't have much experience with Naval Jelly, but the few times I did
use it, I didn't try to rub it in either.
Something to keep in mind.... electrolysis will remove paint.

Haha, you'd be surprised! I 've seen
pictures of guys building tanks
out of wood and plastic sheeting to do large parts, or as a mid-size
tank using garbage cans!
I wasn't talking about using it for heavily encrusted parts. Just for
some rack panels that have a few light rust spots on them. I'm suprised
that someone mentioned there are polishing/abrasive components in the
stuff. I never used naval jelly on a rag and scrubbed to remove the
rust. I dabbed on a tiny amount on the rust spot, then about 30 minutes
later just wiped it off with a damp rag. Rust was gone. No scrubbing or
polishing required.
There are some of my racks that have large areas of a VERY light mist of
rust. I would wipe on some naval jelly, then a few minutes later wipe it
off with a damp rag and then a dry rag. As I said, I've never seen it
take off paint although I guess that's possible.
