Well, it would probably remove any stray rust stains.
Why do you describe it as "awesome"?

It will not damage the paint. But it will damage any decals which are not under a clear coat.

To clean up rust inside the tubes. I did it with a Moby frame I have, then treated the inside of the frame with linseed oil. You can also use a commercial frame treatment like Weigle (http://www.velo-orange.com/wefrsa.html) if you want.
