Leave it in a pot of plus gas for a week and then give it a blast with an airline.

Also, if sugar is a real issue try a Diet brand, they don't contain any of it.

Coke must have something aggressive in it, just look at what it did to Daniella Westbrook's nose. :o Or maybe she's been at the Harpic again? :mrgreen: Well Mr. Rusty I have tried Jenolite and when it comes to using it as a dipping solution I have found it to be pretty poor value. Equally I have fo...

Well for whatever reason I have found that a 50/50 mix of old (sugary, coloured, water with or without acids of any kind or whatever) insert brand 'coke' and Harpic works better than plain Harpic. And 'By the way' Coke definitely contain phosphoric acid as it is listed in the ingredients. Carbonated...

Yes vinegar also works Joloke, although it takes longer in my experience. Harpic Power Plus will remove rust if used on its own by the way, but it seems to 'de-nature' rather quickly and begins attacking the actual metal whereas the 'Coke' seems (but I have no actual evidence to support this) to alt...

Saw a great looking Mk1 Cortina down at Seaton Sluice. White with green 'trim' possibly a Lotus or a good copy at the very least.

The right tools (or chemicals) for the job. ;) Oh and yes, you can still buy it. ;) http://w...

I have been told that it turns the ferrous oxide into a phosphate, but when mixed with Harpic the Coke actually removes the rust right down to the metal. The cheaper Cola brands work just as well as the expensive stuff, but after a good deal of experimenting I have found that Pepsi Max (much beloved...

Thanks Paul, and yes I think a good blast would do no harm, although having a replaceable cat might prove to be a good move anyway.

A specific section that is... you don't have one. :? Probably just as well but incase it might be of interest (assuming no-one else already knows) I would like to suggest a rust removing solution that you can make yourself for minimal cost which is really effective, and entirely safe. You can achiev...
