2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Here is a little side note that I would like to share. I had never used this product before, but reading on the interweb about it, I had to try it out. Evapo-Rust, rust remover, have any of you guys tried this stuff before:

I have used it on a number of different parts for this truck. I have been amazed at what it does. Things with surface rust and no pitting come out looking like freshly stamped steel parts. On items with heavier rust, they look good and if left in long enough they start to turn black which is just carbon coming out of the steel. Nuts and Bolts look good after soaking in it.

Some people complain it is too slow, but to me parts can soak while I do other things so time has not been an issue. The stuff does loose its effectiveness over time and depending on how many rusty items you soak in it. Here are a few bolts I put in last night at about 12:30am and took them out at about 7am this morning. The solution had already been used to do some other bolts and tabs so it was not full strength...but the results are good:

I did not brush these at all, I only dropped them in the solution and swirled it around a bit before letting it soak till this morning. A brass or stainless brush would help them look even better.

I the post above, I soaked the door latch in them for about 12 hours and then just lightly brushed them with a small SS brush and sprayed them with WD40. They look nearly brand new to me...
