Product review (5 stars): Perfect product for its intended use
After looking at the rusted tines on the upper and lower racks I decided to tackle the job and "save" $35-50 on a new rack (if I could even find one for our old DW).  You have to have a LOT of patience and time to tackle the restoration, but you will be VERY happy when you see the results.  Ok, it doesn't restore it to a brand-new status but it most assuredly will prolong the life of the racks since the rust would eventually eat up the defective vinyl coated ferrous metal rack.  Supplies needed:  flat and round files; coarse and medium sandpaper for metal; isopropyl alcohol ( also can have some beer alcohol close by in a fridge if desired).  After the alcohol wipe-down and prepared area is dry, apply this Rerack product.  Do in a well-ventilated area. The stuff is highly volatile and has a strong vapor but it is unavoidable since it dries so quickly.  Start in one section, move slowly to another applying the first coat thinly as a primer.  Return to the starting area and re-coat (waiting about 20-30 mins I'd say).  Take a break (beer or lunch or both) and return to apply another coat or two.  Keep out of the DW overnight. Return it to the DW the next day. Take a bow from your appreciative spouse, girlfriend, sig. other, etc.  Unless you bend over and examine closely you will be amazed how much better it looks and will understand how much longer your rack will last having stripped off all that rust/decay.  Good stuff!
