Michael, thanks much. I've looked for plating services locally. There are a few but none that had any experience with a recommended finish for brake rotors.

Yes you can move around understanding it does weigh 600+ lbs..it has a front (detachable) wheel dolly and the rear rollers... you can see in this pic the dolly to the left leaning against wall>>

That suspension looks great...the cleaner you got from Eastwood...does it contain an acid . . . seems like it must.

I will simply quote from the container>>>
Non Flammable Non Corrosive Non Toxic and Do not store in metal containers..
It appears not to contain acids but rather specific chemicals that attack rust and then leave a zinc phosphate coating

I need to take my wheels back off and paint the hubs and get mine looking that clean.
