Coloproctology...

You guys SLAY  me!
 
Any good chemist (I'm  merely a physicist/engineer/attorney who got better 
grades in chemistry) knows  that NITRIC acid is "optimized" for etching 
ferro-metals and copper as  hydrofluoric acid is used to etch glass.  So-called 
"strong" acids refers  to their relative pH at standardized concentrations... but 
NOT to their  universal reactivity with all substances, especially concrete.
 
If I had any  rust-stains on my driveway I'd go out and buy a flask of HNO3 
and that Flit or  Whisk or Shout or Whatever and PROVE that my solution would 
be as...  if not more... effective and at a lower cost and with a less 
deleterious  impact on the local environment.
 
But who would  listen...?
 
Have it your  way(s),
