I've got a guitar that's been sitting in its case for years, took it out and it's got a lot of rust, but also a lot of the bolts have kind of white fuzzy corrosion on them. Would this technique work for that do you think? Also any advice for preventing rust etc from occurring in the first place?

Wipe Vaseline then wipe most off. The residue will fill in the pores and prevent rust from forming.

I got a bad advice and cleaned up guitar pickups and hardware with vinegar - soda solution and now it seems it had chewed off the anti rust protective layer from them. Is there a way I can restore that anti corrosive layer back to them ?

sorry to hear that! are they PAF style pickups (with the cover)? if so, you might be able to replace the cover, or your local guitar store can. you can get anti-rust products (like the spray can) which should work to form a new layer, but I've never tried it myself. if you got ahead with this, make sure to fully cover any area that isn't the metal you want to spray. So, masking tape around any gaps around your pickups and put something like cardboard or a few layers of newspaper to protect your guitar's body.

Hey, thank you for the video. Quick q, why not take out the pickups from the guitar while doing this? Isn't it much easier to do all these with pickups detached?

Hi Barış, thanks for your comment. I find that leaving the pickups attached to the pickgaurd is easier, as it holds them in place while you clean them. It is much easier to clean them with the strings removed, though!

Hello may I ask? Can I put anti rust string oil to those pickups? Oh and I just found out that it's magnetic. So like could I apply string oil on it?

Thanks for your comment! Do you mean the pickup covers? If so - it's exactly the same process. The hardware is the same material - chrome plated brass - just gold colored!
