Tin Foil and Coca-Cola.

Well I finally got bored enough to try this experiment out. Getting sick of all the rust on my bumper and centercaps on my rig and saw this on a science show. <br><br>I'm sure most have heard how you can loosen a bolt or disolve a nail in cola, clean your engine with it. Well chrome can be brought up to perty shine with some tin foil and a can of Coca-cola..<br><br>Works like a darn... It works about as easy as any chrome polish I ever bought and is cheap too. Just a few drops of cola on the bumper, a little elbow grease with some foil and *poof* shiney chrome after some rinsing of course.<br><br> J-eh
