Definitely! One of the things I tossed in that little pan was a rusty Husky socket I found walking through a parking lot. It came out great.

How are the parts protected from re-rusting quickly?

Doh! I should have added that info, eh?
With the frameset, I went over it with Turtle Wax Chrome polish because I do ride it - I'm not a collector that lets the bikes sit on display somewhere.
Another good way to protect them is to wipe the parts down with a rag soaked with WD40. Some of the other things will not re-rust as long as they're out of the elements - those bolts still look fine, and I didn't put anything on them. I've also tried this experiment on bare metal (like a kickstand and seat clamp) and it removed all the rust, but like you said, it showed some surface rust not long after. I wiped it off with 0000 steel wool and it didn't come back. I'll edit my first post above to reflect this info I forgot.
Thanx Bill!
