Yeah neat mate. I did a job a few weeks ago. Rust on paving stone. Put brick acid on neat, agitated with scrubbing brush then blasted off with pressure washer. Worked for me.

Acid should remove rust but won't remove fertiliser - they look the same

Have a look on the carpet cleaners section and you will see rust removers mentioned somewhere for removing the stains caused by furniture feet when stood on wet carpets. It does work as I've done it myself alternatively the "brick acid" you need is a phosphoric acid based one not hydrochloric. It's nasty stuff so be very careful.
