I..... knew several people who used Coke to get the bugs and junk off of fancy chrome grills, on cars. Of course they rinsed it off. Try the "lab rat" and report back.

Why bother?
There are many industrial & domestic petroleum based non-H2O concoctions on the market for the softening and removal of rust stains and corrosion. Ask any Housewife, Dad, Mechanic or Body Shop Man.
Coca-Cola is a beverage and as such is mainly water (rust inducing, get it?) and a sticky sugar syrup (that will hold and retain the water in paint cracks & crevices and under fittings & rubber trims unless completely rinsed away and quickly dried. Prized metal machinery is the last thing I would be pouring Coke or Pepsi over. Just as WD-40 is banned from my workshop. Dave | ||

Coke has acid. We used it at Jack in the Box to clean oil off the drive-thru pads. I don't think it'd be great for restorations. Naval jelly is my remover of choice. | ||

Likewise Forgot to mention: Margarine is a perfect tar remover and gets insects off as well, even on helmet visors. Degrease with Windex after this. | ||
