Fun with EvapoRust

[rodster]

I was curious if there were any factory markings under the rust on the rear cover so I soaked it in EvapoRust. The rust was so heavy it would have been better to media blast it but any markings would have been blasted off too. Didn't find any but I now have a nice clean rear (cover)! ;)

Probably 3 days would have done it but in order to get the most out of the solution I left it in longer. The first soak turned the solution black very quick so I rinsed it off and used a fine brush to remove any loose rust. When EvapoRust is spent, it turns black. Used new solution and soaked again until it was rust free. Used a small pick to remove any loose chunks of rust too. Probably used a gallon of solution.

Nope, EvapoRust. As Rich said, sold at Harbor Freight. I found it cheaper at my local Tractor Supply. $21.99 a gallon.

Of course I soaked my nuts too! :D

That's really what EvapoRust is suited for, smaller parts. :) In order to preserve any factory markings it can be used on large parts too but it gets costly. Concours Mustang guys that are really concerned about details have even soaked driveshafts and it's amazing how the paint stripes are revealed.
