'Descaling acid' vs brake dust...

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

This was 10,000 miles of zafira dust on a previous customers car.

Spray on, leave for 1 minute, pressure wash off.

Best stuff in the world!

(Lethal though, it eats through Tarmac! Lol)

 

[Gally]

Impressive stuff though. Is it used for industrial stuff mate?

 

[Adam.]

So you didn't need to touch it with a brush or sponge?

 

[jenic]

Gally just exploded!

Great results though.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Make it pink, make it smell of bubblegum, put it in a trendy bottle, sell it for 30 quid a go on detailingworld, sorted!

 

[Poopensharten]

All the best stuff f***s the environment!

 

[Adamm.]

Brilliant results, I imagine once doing a good clean like that you could just keep on top of them with highly diluted acid.

 

[Eddie.]

Any chance this sort of thing could damage the alloy?

Pitting or marring or anything like that?

Pretty impressive tbf.

 

[Budgie]

It's serious s**t, this. Awesome stuff

Burns your skin if it gets on it.

I wouldn't want to be using it for too long/more than a couple of times a year.

And label it as a pH neutral cleaner that won't eat through your wheels!

Oh wait.

Agreed, ideal for cleaning up a seller. Not so good for regular maintainance.

Yes. It simply eats through the lacquer (if used too often) and even used once will find inconsistencies in the lacquer and expose them (read will peel and flake in certain areas).

Agreed.

Good God, a pig just went by the 5th floor window!

 

[Yellow Dave]

Ah, but will it strip my rimming wax?

Its probably best not to use it anally.

 

[JD]

Ha! Where's that picture from 2004...

Yes mate. It's designed to be recycled through the water part of the steam cleaner to descale it.

It's not something I'd use repeatedly on my own car. As someone said above, it's fine to use it once to really clean them up, then as long as you keep on top of them it's not needed again.

It works as an iron remover too. I had a silver transit in the week that had been driven with virtually no brake pads and it had metal filings all up the side of it. The acid bumped it all off no problem.
The only downside is, because I use it every day, it's slowly killing me I think. Time to order some masks!

 

[Dan519]

also used to loosen cement in mixers

 

[Sam@NP]

Is it similar to acid stone cleaner?

 

[Detail Chris]

Also will discolour brakes calipers and plastic wheel nut caps. Ideal for just punting out s**t c**t customer cars know doubt

One other word of warning, a valet where i used to work had the protective layer of skin burnt clean off his eye balls with this, wind blew it in his face! wear mask and goggs for this shizle

I've had it my eyes today, I can still see what I'm typing!

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at with 's**t c**t customers' though. :S

 

[Chapppers11]

Spray it on your brake pads as well, it will clean them...

Heard a bloke in my gym yesterday morning talking about Colshe btw Dan, think he said he works there.

That's my best mate lee. There's 3 of them that train there, lee is the small one, Tom is the one with the nasal voice and mark is about 6ft 6! Lol.

Lee is obsessed with fitness though, always in the gym or out running.

 

[Chip-mk1]

That's my best mate lee.

Appears to be true.
