Parts Cleaning

Here are some of the parts cleaned yesterday. The ones below, which don't appear to be galvanized but rather coated in something else, came out like new with Evapo-Rust (and no, I don't work for the company!).


As seen below, galvanizing does come nicely clean, but if there's any staining it tends to stay, no matter what. The Britsh Made hose clamps turned out to be stainless steel (I think - looks like it, but does appear corroded in tiny areas). The vent opening guides (bottom) may have originally been coated as per those parts above, but if so it had worn off over time. There was some surface rust, but this came off in the overnight soak. The result is a tarnished-looking surface, but that's ok, I'm not trying to hide the vehicle's age.
