Paul,

I was considering the same method to clean up a few drive shafts, glad to now know that it works. I bought 5 gallons of metal rescue and have been using on numerous projects. It has worked wonders on bolts, steel rims and license plates. For some survivor SS rims, I bought a 30 gallon plastic trash can and put the rims in it one at a time for several hours. I also put a $10 pump from harbor freight at the bottom to keep the fluid circulating. Worked great.

I would love to see some before and after pictures.

I had a nasty looking ash tray in my 69 Malibu, inside was rusty. After a night in the Evaporust it almost looks like fresh plating, very bright.

Here is the shaft I did for my 67. Using the same method of PVC pipe and evaporust. Just make sure you clean the shaft extrememly well before using the evapo. I also pulled it out after an over soaking and wiped all the black (it turns the rust into a black film) off and soaked it for another couple hours and below the the end result.

Did that drive shaft actually come out looking new? Wow!!

I will invest $1000.00 dollars and dip the whole car:-)

That is how it came out. I did nothing more than clean it and soak it. Afterward I painted the stripes back and cleared it.

OK I am dipping my car in this stuff!!

I made the mistake of shipping my driveshaft to Quanta in a 4&quot; pvc. Not cheap as you know. They returned it in a single wall carboard box that was torn. Really. When i called they said &quot; uhh FedEx broke it&quot; Okay did you make a claim or call me to make a claim ? NO.!
SO I dip mine too, as well as intermediate steering shafts ect. great stuff.

I found this after soaking in evaporust just to clean it up a little. The product is amazing to find a finish under surface rust

Re: Best preservation product
 

Krown oil out of Canada is another great product for coating/rust protection. Its been used for many years in Canada for farm equipment/cars etc. It is sold in aerosol cans and also works well to knock down the light surface oxidation on metal parts.
