The directions say keep reusing it until the activation power is lost.
I thought about using muratic acid thats diluted, but its some pretty nasty stuff.
What did the latches look like after the soak?

But it may be a bit cheaper to have them ready before I send them off.
I've had a lot of stuff plated, in my experience you need to remove any paint, and I'd recommend removing any serious rust, but otherwise existing plating and surface rust will be removed as part of the process. I don't think you save any money doing a lot of prep because they have to really clean it with chemicals to prepare the surface for plating which deals with the rust etc.
Only other reason I found to prepare beforehand is if you want to change the finish of the part. Plating will not cover or change any surface characteristics. Mostly the original metal finish is what you want, but occasionally if a part has been marked I might glass bead it to get a uniform finish....but after plating it looks like a glass beaded part that has been plated !!

Chris, how long did you leave the mechanism in solution? I've bought 2 gallons of the Evapo-Rust and have used it on some componets. I have all my window regulators out of the car as well...

... Washed off, then coated with Rust-Veto.
The Rust Veto dried in 15 minutes. Done....
Where did you get your Rust Veto? Is it an aerosol?

From my experience and my buddy that's a painter, bare metal parts that are cleared especially from a spray can will rust from inside out.

I have to agree, Ive done my share of home resto work and most everything cleared from a spray can will rust again. Im not sure of its the prep or the clear itself. I will say I have not used the Evap-O-rust or the Rust veto.
