Memphy bro,ant Idea about stains on chromes due rust.This is a developing problem with my dad's Ford 103E classic.He said brasso didn't work and now planning an expensive plating project with Phoenix.Any solution for us?

MINIACE

Hey, most of these remedies I came across while looking to solve problems in my own cars. At the moment I don't have anything helpful in your case. Sorry bro ...

PS: I have heard about a product called 'Autosol', which is supposed to restore rusted chrome. But I have never used it. Just putting it here as a pointer

[neXGen]

Try coke dude.. from what i read it s very very good rust removed....

machan there's an excellent polish from EAGLE ONE - it comes in a Silver Colour tub - it used to be called "Mag Pollish" - but é new stock had a different name i belive...

anyways its excellent - i've used it on my chrome rims to good effect

its gotten away all those imperfections on é metal & leaves it nice smooth n shiny

even if é metal seems really bad use this a couple of weeks & i guarantee u'll see results - u gotta carefully work it into é surface & then buff it to a shine once é polish starts drying-keep using until slowly all those layers of rust or wut ever are cut away..

u can buy its at ARP*CO supermarkets & pretty much any plce which carries Eagle One products

I've heard this coke theory too. Will be good to know if its real or just an urban legend. Specifically put some coke and rub it with some foil, like the silver foil found in cigarette packets.

If u try it, let us know what happens.

wel i did try it once.. since i had some extra coke which somehow got left over a night o partyin wit me pals... a nut near the battery was stuck due to the rust so i poured some o it over the nut n waited a bit.. tried again to unscrew it n it came off quite easily!

havent tried to remove rust specifically.. so not sure bout it.. but this coke therapy is really quite true..

Dont knw the authenticity of this story but i ve heard of a student in an Colombo school who passed away as a result of drinking a mega bottle of coke whole.. seriously man.. this shit dissolves a tooth in just a week once put inside it.. so ya could just imagine the acidic power of this shit...

and for those interested.. add a few mentos to those sparkling bottles of coca cola

n as monamonu said.. some buggers use this to wash their toilets lol.. hmm.. i wonder how this would act on stains on car paint... obviously should be washed off..

The Colombo school thing is fake. Probably the same jobless bugger who localises so many urban legends. Anyone got the one about the HIV infected needle at Savoy?

As far as drinking too much coke goes, it won't cause death, but it can cause u to black out if excessively consumed. And thats not just coke, but any carbonated drink. Think about it. Those bubbles are Carbon Dioxide. Said CO2 is absorbed directly into the blood stream via stomach and intestines. That lowers the oxygen carrying capacity of ur blood. U absorb enough CO2, it'll deprive ur brain of oxygen and u could black out. There was a calculation that u couldn't drink enough to actually cause death tho. But u might wanna consider the possibility of brain damage from oxygen starvation.

Didn't we have a doctor in here somewhere?

[Devinda_Z]

Peri's explantion sounds logical enough to make it belivable....but a medical opinion would be of some use here - be it very OT

& that needle email got sparked off in India if i'm not mistaken -one would think that email has been around long enough for ppl to have matured enough to be able to tell a cheap hoax forward from a genuine mail!!!!

Thanks

The school incident would probably be some lame crap someone made up as ya say.. the P.H level of coke is somewhat bout like 2.2 odd whereas the acids in thy stomach are way higher in acidity levels.. so drink all the coke ya want no harm done lol... but then again.. how comes these fizz drinks got the ability to boost ya somewhat.. lol.. Co2? OT these stuf...

and the aids crap made me worry.. not cuz of whether it was true or not.. bout those taking that email as an idea to wreck havoc.. the world has "sick" people yeah..

Baby Shampoo to Coke...What a thread! Thanks for all the advices guys. For me i go through lot of trouble as my car color is white.

well looks like coke got a new market segment - sooo any 1 out there form coke can look at a different package for car / household cleanining

My jack in the car is stuck- so going to try the coke today night- hope I won't have to use the hole bottle as I could do with a drink after the hard work .....

[miniace]

Great explanation by "Doc" Peri About coke again,I can remember once my dad used coke to wash n clean a carb.He only reminded me this when I passed the rust-Coke info. ..

[mazdaspeed]

Yes the Sealent is also from Autoglym. A bottle will cost you 1800 but you can use it around 4 times.

In the case of K****P**k, they charge 1500 and they apply it to the car. Therefore you're better off with Autoglym sealent.

Thanks a lot Herfaz, will be looking at getting it- I've got the wax n stuff so this would be a good buy - love to see water just glide off the car

I remember the HIV needle mail.. I went to savoy like within a week of the mail.. and ppl were using papers and towels to clean/sweep te seats.. "Psst clean ur seat.. Check for needles, what needle ammi?, uh pins putha...

Ty Chris.. Havnt been there since he moved.

Bro "Mazdaspeed", Always a pleasure helping out a fellow forumer, Make sure you dont over do the sealant part, you have to apply a thin layer and let it dry for maximum period of time before wiping off.

You could reapply the sealant for the second time if you want a higher level of protection. I usually do this once a month so I do one layer of waxing and one layer of sealant.

Anybody know where I could get Autoglym for cheap?

[Hola]

Who used tyre sprays? I use Armaroll

[Devinda_Z]

i doubt Autoglym ever comes cheap but i believe P*TST*P behind kanatta had é stuff for sale

& also Ext*me M*t*rs may have...

@Hola - i use é Eagle One spray but sometimes i feel its not as effective as it should be cuz u need to use a lot to get that black sheen..
