Removing corrosion from metal fasteners can help in their removal.  When the iron in steel converts to iron oxide, or "rust", it swells, which can cause parts to seize in place.  Rust can also distort the head of a fastener hampering efforts to securely grip the head with tools.

Corrosion Removers work in various ways depending on their chemistry.  Some require parts to be soaked, others can be sprayed on applied as a gel.
