well i picked up some naval jelly, but not for my bolts, but for some areas on my parts that are hard to get to with a sander. so i just use like a paint brush to apply the naval jelly? it says on the bottle to let it sit for 15 mins?

Many parts suppliers sell new bolts for about a quarter a bolt for body bolts. The last batch I bought came from Ricks Pickup Parts.

A chip brush (cheap, china bristle paint brush) works great. I watch the Harbor Freight ads and buy them on sale. Usually get a box of 1" brushes for about $5.

Like previously stated you'll want to think about corrosion protection if you clean those bolts. Stainless is the way I'm going but Eastwood has some kits to Tin-Zinc plate or OEM type "blackening" kits that may be a option for you. If you go to the local home supply/hardware store you can pick up cheaper Grade 5 SS hardware. Just carry a magnet with you. If it sticks it is low quality and should probably pass on it.

i thought you are supposed to wash the naval jelly off after you let it set for a little while? i am just going to use naval jelly for hard to get to rust spots on parts, and i am just going to replace my old bolts with new stainless ones.
