73 Duster Restoration

That's the way to do it. There are many things on my car that got the Evaoprust/RPM treatment. Pretty much every single bare metal part is coated with it. I kept finding more things to clean and coat, took forever. So far so good though, no rust on any of the parts that were treated.

I did like you - clean off major grease/grime and loose dirt; clean it some more and soak in Evaoprust overnight. Then rinse, wire wheel, prep and coat bare metal parts with RPM. I killed my $13 HF heat gun doing that.

The RPM is a little easier to work with if you heat it first then brush it on while it's in a more liquid state. I melt it in the tin.

Keep it up!
