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.

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!

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.
