You know how original bolts get. Not exactly rusty, they just have a bit of some rust on them. They look dirty, used, not good enough to put up against fresh work. I have always saved original hardware when removing parts. I'd rather keep my trucks and Harleys original as I can by simply dumping a can of bolts in a solution, let soak a while, hose of, and let dry. It's easier than making a list and ordering for me. You can use a gallon of solution for a multitude of rust removal, including body parts. I'd imagine buying all those bolts would cost more than a jug of ... HEY!! I think I remember the name. Was it Ospho?
Yep

That stuff worked really well
I had this stuff somebody gave me and he didn't know where he got it. It was clear. I never could find it sold anywhere.
I had removed a sliding rear window and the window flange on the cab was pitty rusted on the lower sides, corners, and across the bottom. I brushed that stuff on there and it turned it into fresh metal color, every nook and cranny.
