Rust is simply hydrated Fe2O3 and H2SO4 IS A STRONGER dehydrating agent ...The administration is correct

Yup - HCl is the answer

Information from Google sources:

The hydrochloric acid as a corrosive media is more effective solution on the carbon steel samples than the sulphuric acid (H2SO4). The corrosion rate increases with increasing the concentration of a corrosive acid media (HCL and H2SO4 solutions).

The rust removal effect of hydrochloric acid is better, the cost is lower, and the use is safer.
