Auto Sol still gets my vote.
I laugh when I hear that Coke rots stuff and eats it away.
When you drink it, it goes into your stomach. I hear your stomach is full of pretty good Acid, that dissolves everything that you eat, and is a lot more powerful than Coke.
(Maybe that'd be good for cleaning parts too? )

 

Been pleased with Flitz. Works on many different surfaces too.

If memory searves most good chrome cleaner smelled like amonia.

Bug and tar remover was normally just petrolium distillate, or kerosene.

Naptha is a good cleaner that really works, you need to do a test spot on your paint before you use it on a painted surface. There is an OSHA rule against it in an industrial setting because it can cause retina damage as well as liver and kidney damage and was used ina lot of automotive applications back in the long time ago. You can still buy it in small quantities.

 

yep. it also cleans older windows (non-tinted obviously) like nothing else in the world and will not scratch them. once you've used the steel wool to clean the heavy stuff off the windows clean them again with with a good liquid glass cleaner and newspapers (not paper towels) and you will have the cleanest windows you have ever had.

the man who got me into old cars back in the 1980s taught me this method and his uncle taught him the method back in the 1930s though they used vinegar and water as their liquid glass cleaner.

I've had tons of luck with SOS or BRILLO pads and warm water...

 

Wenol works for me as well.

 

Ketchup and aluminum foil.....

Active ingedident in this is Oxalic acid, cheap on ebay or a woodworking shop if you have one close by. I bought 5 lbs off ebay and put a set of rusted-to-hell valve covers I was going to trash just to see what it'll do, I was amazed! And it don't take much, 5 lbs will go a long way. Theres a thread on here about it as well, search "oxalic"
