RE: Rusty Fasteners
I've used Simichrome Polish with an old toothbrush successfully in tight places, but can't say I've tried the inside of bolt or screw heads. Could be worth a try.

RE: Rusty Fasteners
Naval jelly followed by nail polish works fine. If the chrome is shot, then its time for stainless steel allan bolts. They hold up better in the long run and are easier to wrench.

RE: Rusty Fasteners
I use Q-Tips on battery operated drill... with chrome polish...
I used clear parifin(wax)or clear nail polish...
The thing about the parifin is, really no build up....
