As I've worked on my Bugeye project I've always used a mechanical means to remove rust, blast cabinet, wire wheel, angle grinder, etc. I've been very hesitant to use Evaporust or any of the similar products until lately and I have a new best friend! There are lots of parts that are chromed, galvanized, zinc coated, etc. that look much better after a good soak since Evaporust dies not take off the original finish. I started off soaking for 24 hours and I'm now down to 2-3 for lightly rusted parts and I'm very pleased with the results! If you haven't tried it give it a shot!

I posted something similar a while ago and used the same word - a new best friend. Evaporust is great stuff. I have not found a downside yet.

For non-ferrous stuff a soak in oil-eater (similar to purple-power) works great too. I had 2 glass tail-light lenses that the PO had glued in with some kind of black caulk or RTV. Soaked in oil-eater overnight and it all fell off. It works great on cast metal too. My wiper motor housing came out like new with all most no scrubbing.
 
X2. Evaporust is remarkable stuff!
