OK first of all: I am a skeptic. Gen X'ers are known for being such, but I am above and beyond all that. So.....that being said:

I am now a believer! This product, Evaporust, sold at Harbor Freight and other fine discount automotive outlets, is crazy cool! It works too well!
http://www.evaporust.com/

It is safe for your hands and for the parts that it cleans....and biodegradeable (important to me since I have a well and animals...)

I have now cleaned bolts from my parts KDX, completely shiny where the heads had bad rust before. Did not pit the threads or bolt head surface.

I had some car parts to clean up that had pretty bad rust:

Ford 8.8 ring and pinion that has been sitting on a shelf w/o oil for 15 years.

Honda Nighthawk 700 S fuel sending unit from rusty tank.

Various pulleys gears and whatnot.

Next up I am going to try dipping an antique 1890 S&W nickel-plated pistol that I have into it to remove some surface rust and see what happens.

I also have a ported KDX200 cylinder that has surface rust on the plated bore.....gonna try to salvage it enough to see if I can cheap out on replating ;)

Anyhow pics to come. This stuff is amazing

Wish granted ;)

#1 section is how I pulled it out of the parts pile
#2 is after 1 hour in the evaporust solution
#3 (bottom) is overnight in the solution. All traces of rust is gone and only the pits that the rust created are left...

Here's the ring gear. half of the gear spent around 3 hours in the Evaporust. The pinion which looked as bad as the other half of the gear spent the night in the stuff

This fuel rail half spent overnight in the solution

haha Inda it must be from another world because I haven't ever seen anything work as well as it's advertised like this. :prayer:

Now I want one of those 55lb drums of this crap so I can dip some whole assemblies of engine blocks and heads :supz:

no problem. This stuff is close to being magical :rolleyes:
It's made especially for a junk yard browser like myself.

Right now I am soaking a ported KDX200 cylinder that had light rust in the bottom of the bore. I am hoping to salvage it enough to rebuild a junker KX-KDX hybrid that is so 'en-vogue' around here :mrgreen:

Seems to good to be true, but there is enough people talking about it, I might just have to try some!

welp I got my at Hecho En Chine, I mean Harbor Freight!

$16.97 - %20 coupon ya baby! lol.

Also, I have de-rusted some tools that look like Mr Wibbens above pic.
Crazy! I am now cleaning some "NIB" oil pumps that had surface rust.

ALSO I am using pine-sol as a soak to clean carbs. But I can't claim that tip:

Even using 1 bottom and 2 gallons of hot water works, and it's bio-degradeable as well.
