CLR has rust removal right in the name.
Calcium Lime Rust.

CLR is okay if you can immerse your rusty parts in a container of CLR. But it does not cling well to parts on a vehicle, so its of limited use.
Rust-dissolving lubricants like "Liquid Wrench" dissolve rust, lubricate parts and cling to surfaces, and work better.
