So last night Mike showed me some engine guards for his motorbike and how he removed the rust off of them. It was looking pretty slick.
How did he remove the rust?
With some tinfoil and some Coca-Cola.
I was amazed.
Eric watched an episode of Mythbusters in which they demonstrated that this is in fact, true.
I remember I stopped drinking dark pops (well…I don’t drink that much anymore anyhow, compared to years ago, it’s all water and juice and beer now) because I read what Coca-Cola was used for – such as cleaning up murder scenes. I figured if it can clean up rust, what the heck is it doing inside my poor fragile body?
Anyhow, this is a post to say kudos to the Mythbusters. I enjoy their show and they give us practical advice.

I stopped drinking Coke after I saw a friend leave an old rusty nail in a glass of it overnight.
The next morning, the old rusty nail was shiny and clean! :0
Coke isn’t as strong as the acid in your gut!
What’s with the picture of Neil Young… how is that relevant to removing rust with coke and tinfoil.
RUST NEVER SLEEPS!
