Coke and Aluminum Foil to remove rust spots on chrome?

[MaineWater]

Does this really work to rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola?

If the bumper is rusting nothing is gonna stop it unfortunately. To remove the rust already showing take some good chrome polish, that'll take pretty much anything off.

I think he just means surface rust?

It might work, but I don't see any reason to try it as chrome polish should take as much or more off.

I have't given it a try but I have heard the same thing as well.
For coke , man wouldn't it be a Pepsi lol
There are some products for re-chroming and I think you can get the best results with them .

Funny thing...I am browsing here as I watch mythbusters who are about to test this very thing...coke and foil against chrome polish on a bumper!
I'll post again after the segment....
This is too freaky!

OKay they just showed cola ina bunch of different uses. It cleans up blood better than soap and water and believe it or not it does clean a bumper with surface rust better than a chrome polish. Although, you do need to clean the bumper with soap and water after the soda application cause it leaves a sticky residue. So yes it works according to mythbuster!

[R_F]

yes as long as its just surface rust... coke is also good for cleaning corrosion off of battery terminals... hmm... is it reallly safe for drinking?

Coke is quite acidic. Most pop is around 2.5 on the pH scale. No wonder it cleans things up!
