Got this off a hot rodding buddy of mine.

If you are doing the bufty on the underside of your car and you want to paint parts, there is a simple way of cleaning them perfectly.

Step 1; degrease the parts.

2; check them in a bucket of Brick Cleaner and leave for 24 hours.

3; wash off in water

Job done.


The brick cleaner is acid and removes rust from metal, it won't do grease though. Parts are perfect for painting.

Just don't get it on your skin or cloathes.!!

 

Brick cleaner is Hydrochloirc Acid.

Brickies would dilute this a lot.

Do noy use this on alloy anything.


Hmm..... no can attachments on this board......pity.

 

and when you take it out of hydrochloric acid it will start rusting while you watch

 

All I have done is wash it straight off in clean water and then paint it straight away.

Yes, it will rust if you leave it hanging about for weeks before you paint it.

You would not need to use it on alloys as that don't rust! (but a good point!)
