    No. Turn signals have electrical parts inside.

I was turned on to this stuff by the bicycle restoration guys, who swear by the stuff. Fill a garbage can with water and mix in some of the cleaning product and dunk your part. In a day or two the rust will be gone and the chrome won't be damaged. I've done all kinds of parts in this stuff and it works a treat. Good stuff.
      Do you dilute Evaporust with water in the trash can? If so, to what ratio? I have used Evaporust for small parts and it would be great to dilute it in a trash can for larger items.

        Full strength. I have never seen anything in the directions about diluting it.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Sorry for the confusion, but you fill a trash can with water and then mix in the oxalic acid (deck cleaner). Can't remember the exact ratio, so check google and you will find some good info. http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=351132

              Not sure about your turn signals but mine are plastic with some sort of chrome looking plating. AFAICT Plastic won't rust

                Can you use the wax on exhaust pipes or is there something better to withstand high temps?

                  Silicone is higher temp than wax unless it is silicone wax
