Garage Talk - Coke / Aluminum Foil trick for rust

[@CornFedCowboy19]

Bitch is throwing gang signs at us.

[@SeeWhatIHear]

+CornFedCowboy19 *chuckles* I gotta rep my deaf hood dude. Yo.

[@digitalmorgan]

+CornFedCowboy19 I'm pissing my pants laughing...

😆👍

[@Amira2011.]

Omg havent laughed so hard in months :P

[@SHFTPROJECTS]

lol

[@pinkymixology4965]

Cola (all cola) contains phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid reacts with rust to make it water-soluble. Once this reaction happens, the rust can be removed from the iron it was formerly bonded to just like dirt, it doesn't matter what you scrub with (scouring pad, steel wool, kevlar brush, an old t-shirt). The vinegar in this example serves no purpose. A product called Naval Jelly is much better at this, since it has a higher concentration of phosphoric acid, and is quite viscous so it will stay on angled surfaces which a liquid like cola would just run off of. The reaction to remove rust take only a few minutes. The most important thing to do is, once the rust is gone, to immediately dry and cover the area with oil, wax, or something else that will create a barrier between the metal and the air to prevent oxidation from starting all over again.

[@jerryrivera7704]

Nope back to school for you It's E150d Plus additional additives HFCS to make rust on wheels...stay in school son

[@nwithyman]

This guy has posted with the best intentions of being helpful and I find it very cruel that so many insensitive comments have been made here. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you!

[@carltontrinirednecknanan9325]

[@mikewilliams2687]

welcome to YT commen t section. That was comparatively mild bashing, lol.

[@emphyrean]

I'm with you, but I think this "guy" is a "girl"!

[@SeeWhatIHear]

Jay Pete is right! :-)

[@tamintrisrobinsonrealtor3672]

Jay Pete thank you

[@tommym6151]

I've been cleaning my own wheels since I could drive and this is the first time I've ever seen it don't like this! Truly awesome job, thanks for the tip.

[@tinoduran4557]

Because of the signing, quiet coke fizzling, neighborhood sounds and rust scraping This is like Mechanic ASMR

[@goinghardinthepaint9284]

Most quiet and peaceful video I've seen .........nothing but birds chirping and hard scrubbing

[@Iskelderon]

Thanks for the subtitles. Makes it easier for us people in other countries.

[@dunntechservices2306]

Holy shit. Coke and foil who would have thought. Awesome work. Best part its cheaper than wheel cleaners and didnt need to take the wheel off. Stay happy and enjoy life

[@AandB1998]

Hmmm...I learned something new today. Thank you for taking the time to share this with others Deb!

[@trubblesiriahrenn751]

Old machinists and mechanics have known thus trick for decades. Thanks for sharing it. ( ps i only drink clear drinks after learning this in the 60's )

[@CrazyBomber22]

Tried this with a Chrome trash can. The lid had rust "dots". A few scrubs with hot water and aluminium foil did the trick! Works just fine! Have to try using coke as well. Maybe I'll try to polish my bike's exhaust using this method. Thanks!

[@caydengordon3146]

Used this for my 1976 Schwinn Stingray fastback and it really helped with the rust on the chrome!

[@rasamanjari]

we use steel wool in a roll, which rusts immediately after getting wet, for cleaning kitchen pots. So tired of that..now we will try aluminum foil instead. Thanks for the video!

[@SarahBoyd002]

So ace to see a video with sign language. Love it!

[@roosterp.5662]

Thank you for using hand signs. I wish more people did in there videos.

[@taurus2001dohc]

Looks great actually. The trick is that aluminum is softer than steel, so won't scratch. That's why people buy copper scrubbers for their pots and pans instead of steel sometimes. Coke will help a little but coke and vinegar, in my experience, need a lot of time to work, like an overnight soak. But they absolutely do remove rust!!! I think the abrasive aluminum foil is what did the trick here.

[@LOUNIS911]

I didn't know this solution to remove dust. Thank you for this demo. But don't forget a cap on the tire valve.

[@Salty_reviews]

I don't know sign language but the CC button on the upper right corner worked! Thanks for the vid!

[@carlrobinson5746]

great video, but never mind the wheels, what about the hole in the sill?

[@wikked805]

That middle section cleaned up pretty nice. I remember Jay Leno did a special on this old school cleaner that worked on chrome, but I forgot the name of it. It left kind of a waxy film behind so that water didn't further rust the chrome.

Will try it tomorrow. Just what I needed for the bumpers on my 1982 VW..

[@VeganJunction]

Nice tips. Sure cleans it up nicely.

[@Bettinasisrg]

This was awesome! Not only did I learn how to remove rust, but I could also practice my ASL! (I am currently learning) So THANKS, twice!!

[@The911SONIC]

My car has fully steel rims with the paint that use to be black turning grey flaking off and rust underneath I New coke would do something but I think I would need a wire brush and sand paper then kill rust paint. There's always more then 1 use for house hold items I like the vid it's different then the others you just go straight to the point. 10/10

[@fogharty]

This was interesting, but I'm not sure where the vinegar came in... is that what was in the spray bottle?

[@SolidariusLive]

Thank you Deb, for your time and video :).

[@jayharvey1100]

Thanks you for taking the time to share this idea! The negative comments show such a low level of intellect they are not worth the time to read. Thanks again.

[@psdaengr6155]

The wheels are chroned steel, iron alloy. The rust is from below the plating, working through cracks and pores. The method will only work on steel alloy. Unplated steel will look dull afterwards. Coke has dilute carbonic acid. Any acid will work to break down iron oxide, even a very weak one like tap water. aluminum is a disdimilar metal, and in this case acts as an anode attracting the free iron, becoming dull and grey. A stronger acid like CLR will work faster, but might discolor the plated finish before it could be neutralized. Mag wheels are polished aluminum and this will not work to detarnish them. If you were to use steel foil or woll with acid on aluminum, it would attract iron and become more tarnished without affecting the corrosion .

[@v6ish]

I use fine steel wool and Palmolive dish soap. You can also use a steal touch up paint pen to cover some bad spots in chrome rims. :)

[@TreeResort]

Or you can just buy rim cleaner and call it a day

[@jessestevens8273]

That's the exact same style rim that I'm looking to clean up!! Good job

[@sanjareshqobilov974]

zur gap yuq

[@robertdiamondoil2384]

Great video but I’m curious how the center cap turned out, It was very rusted

[@squigglymonkey1]

While coke is mildly effective (the carbolic acid in it) any soda with with an acid in it will achieve the same results. Much more effective would be to buy some Naval jelly and carefully put on the rusted areas, wiping it off a short time later and you have the same result, in 1/10 the time.

[@cbeland1974]

Seriously??? I'm not being sarcastic...are you? Gotta go Google this in🤔

[@MrTerrymiff]

I would have liked to see some comparisons such as just using water instead of Coke, or soapy water instead of Coke. Personally I doubt that there would be much difference.

[@clarksisterssol354]

Great video!!!!!! God bless you hun 😘

[@lamontana300]

Just using fine grain sand with a rag and water while rubbing the mag wheels will have the same effect and clean the rust off cheaply.Furthermore,using WD 40 with fine sand and a rag works wonders.There are multipule ways to clean rust off and improve the look,however,don't expect to make your mags look like new for depending on the severity of the rust the look will vary.

[@MartinLegare]

You could also use a bottle of Domaine Faiveley Musigny Grand Cru 1937 or 1949 for that job. Altough a bit more pricy

[@bipedalbob]

Interesting, but how long does it last. #00 steel wool and vim is a quicker cleaner, just cleaned and waxed a set of rims, a few rust spots here and there, gonna try this on those spots and see what happens.

[@bipedalbob]

Nope, doesn't work, just tried it and it doesn't work, Not even a little bit.

[@joezazasin7]

It's crazy how this works 😮 Amazing

[@scottpeters1142]

Hey Deb, I learned a much easier trick you should try. I use S.O.S pads which are usually intended for cleaning cookware. My dad uses I on +60 year old chrome for vintage Harley parts and I use it for +30 year old vintage bicycle parts. You'll be amazed

[@lewismcrae4271]

I did this yesterday but I used coke and steel wool it did a awesome job

[@DarkAngelGuyver]

This only good for polished rims or is it reasonably safe to use for rims with a more matted finish like on some of the earlier dodge Chargers? Also some subtitles would definitely be awesome. Can understand the gist from what you're doing but you're clearly giving commentary so share it with us!

[@neilwilliams5814]

Why don't U add the coke and vinegar together in the bottle?Just curious.

[@danielwhitman763]

SOS pads always was my top choice !!

[@coltriffle1247]

Not a bad old school tip thanks for the share. But Vinegar works faster just remember whatever material you use to agitate and remove rust needs to be a softer material than the rim. I use an SOS pad and vinegar with the least amount of pressure applied as possible to get the desired outcome. Too much pressure will cause scoring. Don't say I didn't warn you...

[@chetosbaby1]

Awesome job👍, good video great idea.

[@lynnparr340]

Great job...what a huge difference!!!!

[@yayomartinez1644]

wow everyone else on youtube rust removec vidoes use chemicals and try and talk fancy, but this lady did it all in no time,your blessed by GOD and thank you mam for the tip,im Mexican so I always have coca cola hehe:p

[@wiltelemaco5782]

i feel relaxe any time i see this video, im loving it .

[@bradleyzum]

That sign language was trippy to watch :)

[@will949]

next time try marvel mystery oil, i heard its good for rusted and oxidized chrome. Wont be able to get out the rust pitting but will clean them up nice and stick better than coke.

[@jamesritch5245]

1:22 was my favorite part

[@brebohol]

Thanks bud. Looks like a lot of work but the results were pretty darn good!

[@johnsonwindpower1930]

Gibt es auch zum auftragen einen Pinsel? Oder muss man Cola dran schütten.

[@solarsynapse]

Just some notes: Aluminum is softer than steel which is softer than chrome. Chrome does not rust. The rust is either on the chrome which will clean off or the chrome has come off and the steel rim has rusted which will quickly rust again if not coated. If most of the chrome is gone, it can be re-chromed but not worth it unless very expensive rims. You can also sandblast and paint them. Evapo-Rust works fairly well. Joke -Jack it up, start it, put it in gear and hold your favorite cleaning device against the rim while it is spinning. -Joke

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

it cleaned up real nice on the middle, but you still have lots of dirt/rust on the outside. maybe you just cleaned the much off but the rust remained.

[@Ashelllll]

Why are people so ignorant?! She's deaf, not disabled. Don't like she's with a woman, move on. Simple as that! Some people, like me, find that this was helpful in furthering some of my ASL, as well as fixing my car rims with a cheap and simple can of coke :) THANK YOU :)

[@blosom2315]

does it make you feel like a big person to call other people names?

[@Ashelllll]

How did I call other people names? Lol

[@blosom2315]

you called people ignorant. that's not nice

[@Ashelllll]

have you heard of Wd-40? or harpic perhaps?

[@yomerodeayer2034]

Good job!! Keep up the good work.

[@matburns1013]

I'm a professional detailer .... and even tho they would need a lot more "time" to be considered done in my eyes... you did a great job... considering the rim from start to were u got it...

[@Kool-aide]

Nice but a much easier and faster way (in my opinion) would be grade #0000 steel wool and either water or wd40. Nice experiment though!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

That's a really cool trick. Thank you!

[@gobloit4473]

Turtle wax chrome polish and graduating in steel wool (from coarse to 0000) will make a TON of difference..... I've got the same wheels....... :)

[@malcolmhopkins9196]

Deb Varino, great job on the rims. I'll have to try that.

Phosphoric acid. It's listed on the can. You can buy this acid, I suppose like the soda manufactures.

[@timbirch4999]

I like the sign-only video. Makes a change from the norm. Didn't understand a word of it mind, but that's fine. I don't believe this was some kind of special "deaf rust" that needed special explanation - I got the idea fairly quickly. And I reckon anyone with eyes and a brain should be able work out what was going on! :-)

Coke have high level of Apple Acidity in it, just like White Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar. As long you rinse it well after doing it with Water and Dry it asap, you won't have a problem.

Coke and monster energy drinks clean much better than most cleaners including brake cleaner rilly good idea for restoration projects where new is not an option also works awsom for cleaning parts with built up grease and dirt submerg part in coke for 20 or 30 minutes wire brush the part wash it off with water u would be surprised haw clean and easily done

[@chewonnwong]

Isn't it better to put the coke in the spray bottle and spray over the rim?

[@mazew18]

If an old car's engine froze up you could pour a little coke on top of the pistons. Let it set a day or two. Usually the engine would spin afterwards.

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

Yep. The active chemical is the phosphoric acid which is in coke.

[@richielivz]

Poke a hole in the bottle cap and squeeze too spray. Thank you Great video I know how to use aluminum foil now!

[@mannenmytenlegenden8025]

Wow! I really like the result! Do you think this would work with a fuel tank? I mean like, filling the tank with coke and throw aluminum foil balls in there. And maybe shake it a bit.

[@SeeWhatIHear]

MannenMytenLegenden No. that would be a bad idea. Best to replace the fuel tank. And check your fuel system if you're getting water inside.

[@darkfireBikes]

you shouldn't own a car

[@mannenmytenlegenden8025]

RedTeamWolf Yeah about that... I'mma go own one anyways.

[@joshuas.w8270]

+MannenMytenLegenden First of all the comment from RedTeamWolf was fucking hilarious. Second of all I don't know cars I only know bikes, so my response is for a motorcycle. Depending on the rust in the tank you can clean it out, but ask yourself these questions:How rusted is it? Why is it rusty inside? Is the rust hurting anything? You can buy liquid rust remover If inside your tank is getting rusty while on the bike and full of gas with no clearly obvious problem.... call a physicist.

[@akashashu7834]

[@yancycastrence141]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

[@bipedalbob]

Well that's not very nice.

[@mbuller5832]

Whats the vinegar for? Did I miss it?

[@Moose1776]

mark buller any vinegar works. usually distilled vinegar is the easiest to buy. they sell it everywhere

[@mbuller5832]

I never saw him use the vinegar. Only the coke. I was to busy trying to figure out if he was trying to talk with sign language. I have a chrome grill on a vintage stove. Has some minor rust. I take it the coke makes the aluminum stick. The vinegar?

[@Moose1776]

the vinegar is similar to coke. their both acidic. i think that what she had in the spray bottle. i have actually cleaned grills before and i wouldn't recommend using coke. it sticky and vinegar does a much better job and it disinfects as well. the aluminum foil is great for scrubbing because it reacts with the acid. but for your purpose i would buy some steel wool. that works great to. put vinegar into a spray bottle and spray the whole grill and let it sit for a minute and repeat this several times. and than start scrubbing with the steel wool. as your rubbing spray over the area to lubricate it so it doesn't dry out while your scrubbing and scratch it. the constant spraying while scrubbing it will act as a lubricant and cleaner. good luck buddy

[@mbuller5832]

Thanks for the advice. Glad I never got to that today. Will try tomorrow. I actually thought the foil was being used to help restore the chrome finish somehow. Think I may have already blown it and used a drill and wire wheel on it when i first got it. May have scratched it beyond saving but definitely going to try this. Thanks.

[@SeeWhatIHear]

I had forgotten to make a video with the apple cider vinegar....but it works in similar way.

[@bairfamilyfarm1336]

Next time use a push pin and poke a hole in the bottle cap so you can squeeze the bottle to spray the coke over the rim. Subtitle would be nice for those of use who can't "read" sign language.

[@texhow1]

I think it would be easier & quicker to take the wheel off & use a wire brush on an electric drill plus mask.

[@SeeWhatIHear]

+Terry Howell It would definitely be easier / quicker to replace the entire vehicle :) Which did eventually happened few months later.

[@sergesmith2863]

+Deb Varino LMFAO!!!

[@WarthDader74]

+Deb Varino Did you replace your girlfriend too?

[@MarionBlair]

A wire brush will scratch the hell out of chrome but is a last resort. A fiber brush on a drill works but scratches less than metal brushes.

[@jahirvalenzuela8819]

[@chadhorton4289]

I have Always used steel wool. You have to get the Number #0000. For it is the finest steel wool. You can find it at any parts store. Its great for rusty chrome, GLASS and it does not scratch. Just Do NOT use it on plastic! Scratches. Eliminates the use of any chemical. Just elbow grease....
