[Fot] Tumble cleaning - then treating the hardware?

[fubog1]

 If you can get the parts completely clean, consider "parkerizing", a very common firearms finish.It's not 100% corrosion resistant but holds up well & looks fine, as long as you like charcoal grey.
Tons of info on the net.Clean & proper temp are key.HTH.

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?

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.
