Default Is there a way to remove rust from bolts and screws?

My engine bay isnt rusting to pieces however some bolts are like crusted with rust and Id like to make em look new again. I was just wondering if theres anything out there that I can dip it in or something to that effect that will eat the rust away? Replacing all the bolts on the car with new ones would be sooo expensive.

Any ideas?

take the bolts out sand the rust off spray them with rustolium (sp) what ever color you want and they shouldn't rust anymore.

Uh no? All the bolts in a car and whatnot would be so expensive. Thres bolts for like 2 dollars and what not, its more than bolts too. Theres random stuff rusting too that Id like to clean.
