A trick of the trade shown to me, take a good plastic trash bag (33 gal). Pour in 1/3 gal of Evaporust and carefully put in your chrome trim or steel parts and seal the bag. Put it in a sunny place or a warm spot check in a few days. Condensation will collect on the parts and in time work the same as if the parts were submersed. The drawback is time. This method is done when you are not in any hurry and you need to recheck periodically. You use less solution, the solution is cleaner in the bag. When parts are clean you can spray with windex or any ammonia/water based cleaner and wipe clean - the solution stays clean longer.

Try more outside when it warms up again Richard .
Cooled off today again, blustery cold.
Did drive my 1963 GP this morning. A good wash off top & bottom. Make it nice for the 1965 Olds 425 Engine swap.
 
Flash rust formed immediately after a soap and water rinse.
Keep experimentating.
I will lightly paint when done.
 
Direction # 6 on the Evaporate-Rust says to avoid flash rusting - redip the item back into the solution and let air dry.
Some factors promote flash rusting - Rince water from an inline water softener.
Too much degreaser in solution either from being on the parts or was added.
 
If your not painting a machine bare metal surface, a good spray down, with this spray and rub in with a synthetic bristle brush, as you heat the metal with a heat gun, immediately after cleaning helps

the new wd40 rust preventative spray works far better than the older version

WD40 Is Counterproductive Grumpy.
I want to paint.
WD40 Will cause paint problems
 
Want to make a Bodyman insane...

That's the way I would go - you can use adhesion promoter too, it stops rust flash too
 
Prep & Etch Phosphoric Acid by Klean Strip comes with High Reviews on the Small AMC Musclecar Forum Boards I read a few weeks back .
After work I went to my local Home Depot & Bought 2 gallons of Phosphoric Acid Cleaner.
I never have tried this brand but have used Metal Prep sold at my local Auto paint Supply store for $12-15 per quart.
Klean Strip Prep & Etch Phosphoric Acid costed me $15.78 per gallon with out sales tax.
Work 1/2 day on Saturday.
Try it out this weekend as time allows.
 
I stopped by my local Autozone after work today.
Bought 1 Can of VHT Epoxy Paint Gloss Black & VHT High Temp Engine Enamal in BLACK PEARL.
Excited to try out the Black Pearl....New color I have not used yet.
