The bottle it didn't seem to do anything with was a Red/White/Blue Pepsi bottle.  Are these labels different?

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Hi Carobran,
That is good to know because I bought the stuff and was already to start scrubbing away. Then I started to wonder if it would like wipe off my iron immediately.
Do you think it might be a good idea to use something like duct tape to help protect my pontil area. I can get pretty into what I am doing and not be that careful.
You mentioned how it works on rust. I was thinking of using it on my chrome truck rims. What do you think about that idea? If its a good for my rims then how long should I leave it on?
Thanks,
Captcadillac

Status: offline 		if you are going to use it on the rims id say however long youve got to wait..........but at least an hour and you may have to repeat it a coupe of times depending on how bad the rust is..

Clearly, you're of no use in a math class...

Status: offline 		You guys are talking about making a paste out of Barkeepers Friend and some water. I found some liquid Barkeepers Friend at Lowes yesterday. I am wondering if it might be a little milder than the powder. Anyone know?
I cleaned a couple of really dirty bottles with it and it seems to work good.
I guess I need to try it on an ACL and see what happens.

I have some CLR..... Do you think I can soak out that stain with that stuff?

Status: offline 		OK, now that I realize this is an ACL cleaning thread. I concur.... the Barkeepers friend and a rag got this one nice and clean. I cleaned the inside with the copper wire and BKF. The bottle brush wouldn't touch the inside nasty but the copper wire got it clean. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Yes, I was talking about the Red/White & RWB acl Pepsi bottles.  I have several that have good labels (not faded) but are dirty and I would love to clean them.  I'll get some and try it out.

I'm from Kentucky, I don't hear of many other Blaylocks...especially with it being spelled the same.  Some are spelled Blalocks.  I know of some Blaylocks in Georgia too.



WOW!I used to do alot of work for "BUDDY" Blaylock from Atlanta GA.JAMIE
