[Fot] Tumble cleaning - then treating the hardware?

[Brian Dennis]

For degreasing I like Purple Power. For rust I like Zep rust remover. For whole head would need quite a bit of rust remover in a 5 gallon bucket. Be careful with it as it is an acid. Then rinse thoroughly and run lots of water through all passages. To dry place in center oven rack at 250 degrees for 30 minutes. Paint with high temp rustolium   
Good luckBrian

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.
