several members here offer a tumbling service. one that comes to mind is charles. i think that will yield the best result.
Got these guys cleaned up. Pitting is minimal to none. Got a few spots of black colored corrosion that are being difficult. Evapo-Rust, wire brush, soap and water so far. Not sure a wire wheel work out is necessary ? None of these nuts show any trace of red. So... how certain is the ' red ' treatment for these nuts ? They are however ' swedged '.Brian

Those nuts need to be plated silver first before being coated with the red .They will not look like they are supposed to otherwise , also I am skeptical that the red dye will offer any corrosion protection at all. I don't think it was meant to last past assembly which most likely is why many times no indication of the dye is found. FYI other parts on the car were also safety red. Brake line fittings ,front disc brake hardware, differential nuts ,steering related bolts,just to name a few other S100 fasteners that can be found in 69.
