Buster,
After you clean the parts in the electrolytic tank, use a Brillo pad
to scour them off and then rinse them well with warm water. The soap
in the pads will leave a slight coating on the metal (even after you
rinse all the soap off) which will keep them from re-rusting for
about a month (or longer).
