I bought this old Rollfast headbadge on ebay last week thinking it might look cool on my bike. I tried cleaning it a couple different way and got nowhere. Then I soaked it in Coke for 5 hours and look at it now. It just wiped clean.

Used it to clean paint from metal before. Phosphoric Acid, it's not just for leaching calcium out of your bones & teeth, better for cleaning parts than putting in your body.

Wow I like that rollfast badge!
Yeah I didn't believe it but for those that read my post I was having serious issues with a race that wd40 would not budge and a friend suggested Coke! it seriously worked. I don't drink the stuff, but I am gonna seriously keep a few bottles on hand for cleaning bike parts! Best kept secret around. Cause you think "why would I use something like that, for that?"

Good idea!
Never put the two together but always remembered an old high school science teacher telling us that they use coke sometimes to clean the loose meat and material off study skeletons for institutions. :shock:

i bet if ya soaked it in beer, hot water or even milk for 5 hours you would have had the same result.jtdaddy said:
i mean 5 hours in an acid bath and it didnt even lift the paint.
i tried using it to remove rust. nothing but a sticky mess and a waste of time.
