Yeah they showed this on Mythbusters a while back. I guess soda can actually shine up your chrome and stuff, it did a pretty decent job on the bumpers of their old pick-up.

Almost ran out of breath trying to read the original post...

P.S. Mythbusters is the best show on TV! Well until the Ashes start.

BTW - what the heck is Mythbusters? TV show, I guess...

Mythbusters is great! But i have seen them all :mad: . Hope they make some new ones.

Spend more time modelling, not watching TV! :evillol: j/k

old automotive paint used to get ruined if you poured cola over it, it used to bubble an fizz then just be ruined. cola is potent!

i watch tv while buillding look up while im wating for glue to set or metallic paints to dry

Yeah, there are a bunch of urban legends about Coca Cola: Army mechanics used to keep cases of it around to degrease parts, if you soak a nail/T-bone steak/something in a bowl of it, that object will disolve in a few days, etc. A tip in a 4-wheeler magazine (I think 4 Wheeler....) was a pour some on a windshield to clean the bugs off it, and to pour some in the wash to clean the grease out of clothes.

Coke is also a good rust solvent, beleive it or not.
