Re: Cola remove chrome rust??
for the guys that want to try the nail in a can of coke.....it has to be an aluminum nail for it to work right....and the reason coke doesnt hurt you when u drink it is because your stomach acid dillutes the acid and the inside of your stomach has to be able to withstand stomach acid which has a Ph level close to that of battery acid.
learned all that in science |

Re: Cola remove chrome rust??
5 days and the aluminum finishing nail is still there and does not look any different, I had to top off the coke a couple days ago.

Re: Cola remove chrome rust??
So is it true that milk chocolate when applied with aluminum foil will polish aluminum? My winter wheels look like $hit, I am willing to try anything.
