Ok
Here is something that you might find on...
Old wives tale etc etc
Cola
Does it clean metal, remove rust, shine up that old penny etc
Well i think it works on a penny, so i thought i might try it on something else a bit bigger.
I had already tried soaking an old rusty nut in vinegar for a week to see if it would clean it up. It didn't work at all, not in the slightest. It was asda's finest 23p a bottle as far as i can remember.
So back to the Cola test.
Some Pics to explain.
Take one rusty flywheel
One rusty nut (previously tried to vinegar it)
One plastic box
Put the flywheel in the box, face down on the dowels to keep it off the bottom and allow the Cola to do it's trick.
Some of Adli's finest Cola
39p each !
Poured in 2 bottles = 4 litres
Look at the fizz !
While i was watching the "fizz" i wondered if the Cola would clean off oil and general "gunge"
So i throw these chaps in.
I then left the thing alone for 48 hours...
Here it is after 48 hours. Fizz has long since stopped.
Got rid of the Cola and was left with a box of shiney bits
Well not really...
The Cola did nothing at all...
So this myth as they would say on Mythbusters is......
