TheDave's coca-cola experiment

i cant find teh brasso, though i can find an empty can of wd40 and a rusty bike wheel. shall i proceed with the experiment?

:D May as well.

:) And include pictorial evidence.

waste of coke :no:

:unsure: Not if it's already flat and noone wants to drink it.

i like flat coke

:sick: Yuk, so does my kid.

this was just using a dry cloth to buff it up a bit

there was no wd40 left so i just tried the water :unsure: . a little better than air, but :no: anyway

i soaked the cloth in coke and started scrubbing, after about 20 seconds there seemed to be a difference. i was kinda intrigued and scrubbed more but nothing happened. i lay a coke soaked cloth around the area for a few minutes and watched nieghbours . then back to scrubbing for a few minutes but there was very little further effect.


verdict: little doubt coke is effective in attacking rust but i think i'll stick to brasso when i can find it :ph34r:

Use the coke and scrub with tin foil ;)

i'll try that. i checked the wheel about an hour ago and it still looks wet even though it isn't :blink:

i would have used brillo pads but we don't have any of those either

i have also decided my macro lense is the shiznit. tonight i might try the steak thing and the grease thing too

almost forgot. the nail didn't dissappear, it flaked a bit but its as strong as ever
