Product Question; Rust Treatment

I still like Boeshield the best. It protects metal, enhances color without looking fluffed, and dries in short time.

You have a nice time capsule there. Evaporust could really be your friend in order to reverse the rust on the components you made mention of. Getting the undercoating off is a messy and lousy job. What you will find underneath will be worth the BS.

Agree on the carb approach, it appears new as the seller had it rebuilt by El Camino John (I honestly don't know who that is) but I assume it is someone he knows that has a name in the hobby. The tank was a mess, the fuel pump was not great BUT the fuel filter at the carb was surprisingly not bad. Regardless, that will be my last step to ensure a clean system.
I will check out Boeshield, thanks for that. What drew me to the NHU product was that is was all natural, non permanent and appears to have some of the same benefits of a rust inhibitor.
Undercoating....My 71 Camaro SS had the same undercoating so I am no stranger to that process and agree it is worth the trouble, be a project for another weekend but on the list.

Good stuff, but my can seems to forever clog internally! I have to pop the nozzle cap off and blow compressed air down the little plastic tube. then it will work for awhile and clog again. Any secrets here? It does seem to do it less in hot weather and I have dropped the can in a bucket of hot water in the winter and that helps too.

Did the same with compressed air to get it working. As I often do with rattle can paint, try soaking the can it hot water for a few minutes. And clear the nozzle after use.
On the can's I could not clear. I poked a hole in the top with a awl and drained it into a squeeze bottle. Apply with a China brush.

One of mine did the same thing ... went to Wally World and bought a cheap squirt mister, drained the propellant form the BoeShield and punched a hole in the can. Dumped contents into the mister -- work good... goes long way.
