Hi, All,
I have just posted some new photos on my Flickr photostream of the 1971 P15-9 Paramount frameset which I have now cleaned and polished somewhat. (the link to my Flickr phototream is below). The 1971 photos start with a rear view of the seat bolt area and ends with a view of the right side of the seat tube/headtube junction.

The 1971 P15 has the red pinstriping which made it difficult in regard to dealing with rust specks nearby. I just left them there rather than risk removing/ruining the original pinstriping. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks again to everyone for all of your collective help!

You can rewet a layer or two, then you have to clean and reapply if necessary.
I would practice on a safe spot to get the hang of it and use a small paint brush to apply.
They had it in stock at Oreilys auto parts and its a bit spendy but does work if you are patient.

They have gel Evaporust that stays where you put it so you can target any spot you want. It doesn't work as good as soaking in the liquid and is a little challenging to get the dried goo off but totally doable with care.
