Tri-Flow was the the rust buster of choice in the maintenance shop I
worked
at 30 plus years ago.
I've often wondered why WD40 became associated with a rust
buster/penetrate. It does penetrate, but contains no lubricant and
evaporates relatively quick leaving thing as they were before the
application. However, it is good for freeing up small engines that have
seized. Pull the plug, squirt in about a tablespoons worth and let set
over night.
Bur, rusted bolts, not so much.

WD-40 is only marginally a rust buster. WD stands for water
displacement so that's what it was designed for so it has little or no effect
on rust.
