[Fot] Tumble cleaning - then treating the hardware?

[Scott Janzen]

I’ve been cleaning and de-rusting hardware recently too.  Usually just using a wire wheel.  Problem is, now what? I want to put these back on the car (this is the old Chevy, not a race car, so I’m not worried about the age and stress issues).  I don’t want to send them out for plating or black oxide, and it’s a small handful of hardware at a time.

Are there any reasonably good home treatments to keep this stuff from re-rusting?  Coatings, paint, home oxidizing?

Why I never thought of this before is beyond me.!!!

Pineapple juice can with some sand and small parts sealed up with some duck tape and wrapped in a blanket. put in the dryer with a half load of clothes  and tumble clean on air dry rusty bits.  1 to 2 hours works great.
