I've been using Evaporust on some of my rusty tools. It has been working fine.

However, the last tool I de-rustified was one of my Irwin Quick-Grip clamp.

The metal parts had a flat black finish on it before the treatment - and is generally stripped off now.

What is the best finish to use now to protect the metal?

Johnson's paste wax!

Black oxide is rust.(an oxide of iron).
