G'day Mate! And thank you for the help. I am very interested in finding the best solution for protecting bare metal parts because I've been trying to clean all the dirt, rust, oil, and corrosion off every part I take off, hoping to give my car extended life as a nice looking machine, while making it more pleasant to work on in my garage. After a degreaser, most often I will use phosphoric acid first, then use buffing compound and a die grinder to make the part look 'finished'.
What is 'Red Oxide"? Sorry, but I'm relatively new at doing my own auto repair and maintenance, and have never heard of it. I understand oxidation of metals, and think rust is red, and my first thought was a paint used by artists. But, then you were talking as if it were a primer. And I have seen some pictures of Australia where the rock formations look to me like 'Red Oxide'!
