<p class="MsoNormal">They work, but they take forever and it’s a good idea to “pre clean”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the last 2 cars I restored, I took every single last bit of “plated” hardware from the car to a local plating shop in a couple of 5 gallon buckets, grease, rust and all. Springs, screws, washers, plates, nuts bolts, all of it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just have to take photos and notes to get things back in the right place.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For $120, an entire car worth of clean, shiny, rust free cadmium and/or light zinc plated hardware was returned in about a week.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just have to specify the finish you want.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll never clean big piles of hardware again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For small jobs (say a transmission or a front end re-do) I just put hardware in a bucket of paint thinner for a few days and give them a periodic spin with a mixer/paddle blade on a cordless drill.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Couple rounds of that and a finish wash in some muriatic acid to eat up the rust and remaining grease (same method) (don’t leave the bits in too long).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rinse in clean water, dry, and hit with a light coat of clear spray paint.<o:p></o:p></p>
