for the guys tumbling their nuts. once the rust is removed the corrosion has left pitting behind, no? what do you do about that? Im going with an AMK kit and will reuse original hardware where needed if its usable.
Here's some hardware I did with green piramids and water. These were done in short time(3-4 hours), they can be almost spotless if you leave them in overnight. I just paint the heads with a zinc spray and oil/antisieze on the threads. Holding up well in my car.
Did some heater clips and mounting nuts. Same deal here, honestly only a couple three hours in the vibrator. Actully 4.5 hours. Look at the time stamp on the pictures. Always in a hurry and I rush them. Not perfect but plenty good enough for me for my driver type cars.Clean and easy to do, I rinse them in my kitchen sink. lol Better than trying to do it by hand. Still wet from the rinse, dry em up and refinish any way you want.

I have walnut shells crushed, I used these with a few bolts and nuts in a vibrator tumbler over night and it did next to nothing. should I have added water or some other chemical to the shells first? Thanks
Shells are for real delicate parts and no I don't think water would help.
