Aircooled VW South Africa

I have not done this myself but I amagine you would spray a dry mixture of different shades of brown then flattern it.

I decided to clean my front disc brake calipers on Saturday. I used engine cleaner but it was only about 10% successful. After reading this thread and talking to Tom who suggested a lime/yellow coloured acid and realising he was talking about pool acid, I dipped the calipers in the pure pool acid for maximum 5 minutes. Keeping away from the rubber parts as I did'nt know what the acid would do to the rubber. The end result was 2 amazingly clean calipers. I'm going to try this on other chassis parts and see what happens.

Nic, you're SUCH a hypocrite...........wanting to make your own ratlook bus..........LMAO

oh HELL no............this is begging for a ragging........lol.

Merlin,

Any updates?

I've decided not to go this route.

It's not going to fit in with the general scheme of things planned...

I ould like to try the pool acid idea on some test metal sometime though - it's very interesting.

A word of advice folks...I heard of someone trying this the other day to clean some metal and it ate right through!

Cheers, N.

Ok then, are you going to tell us what the idea was then?

Erm, nope...because I may still use it down the line.

*grin*
