uses for coke My folks have a couple of Laundrymats and the Carnies (fair folk) use cans of coke to degrease the work clothes, been doing it for decadeso No:
Amazing I am absolutely impressed! A quick search of this site yielded me this thread. My son and I are working on his project and were preparing to clean up the rims. We used Coke ($1.09 for 2 liters) and steel wool ($.79 for a box of 6 "balls" each about the size of a brillo pad). I just couldn't believe the results so I had to take photos before we completed the last two! I would recommend this to anyone who needs to clean chrome. Thanks all! What a great site!
Don't forget the aluminum foil part. I think that the acid in Coke probably acts as an electrolyte and plates the aluminum over the corroded chrome.
rub rub rub I use turtle wax brand chrome polish, rub real good, maybe do it twice, works excellent! Then make sure to wax the sucker good because it can start to rust, especially for you guys using rough stuff on it. For stubborn nasty stuff I use a wire wheel on a cordless drill, then polish. Man, whoever designed the buick mag wheel, EVIL, tough to get nice!
