I'm in the process of cleaning up the front end of my car and I have a lot of rusty bolts, brackets and other small parts. I'm sure everyone on here has dealt with the same.
I seem to recall someone started a thread a while back on creating a tub of acidic solution that you could dip small parts into, but I can't find the thread anymore.
Any specific suggestions or good links?

Zinc coating is what Rob put on after they were all clean.

M&M plating, Scarborough, 170 minimum lot charge, plus 60 for stripping old cadmium plating.
My suggestion is to wire wheel them as best u can, threads, shank, head, clean it good, because the coating looks like shyte on the parts of the hardware u slack on.
