[Towertalk] Rust question

[Chris BONDE]

I am not sure if this is applicable here, but might be of hlep in other 
situations.
I had some  once chrome plated wheel lug nuts, very rusty etc.  Put them in 
a plastic jar that once held peanut butter, then added some auto trany oil 
until covered.  Shoke vigourously once a day for a week.  Some ov them were 
almost brand new.  Left others in for awhile.  The nuts were great to 
use.  Not as shimmy but still looked great on an old truck.
