Cleaning ACL with "Bar Keepers Friend"

[Wheelah23]

Probably a dumb question, hope you don't think I think you're stupid for me asking, did you use water? [8D] Other than that, I think you just rub it with a sponge...

Yeah, I made a paste with water and bar keepers....rubbed with my finger for a bit and it didn't seem to do anything.

I just tried it on my 2 Full glasses bottle....WOW, what a difference.

liker i said.you need to put it on the label and let it sit for a while...........works much better[][][]

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

 

[carobran]

i wouldnt think so............probably just has a tougher stain on it,sometimes the stain comes off easy and sometimes you have to really work on it...[]

I was wondering if this stuff would have effect on the iron on the pontil? I don't mean rubbing it on the pontil itself, but say your working on the bottle and some of it gets on the iron.

i doubt it,you usually have to let it sit for good while before it really does anything to rust,so as long as you rinse it off immediately it should be ok[]

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

 

[carobran]

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..[]
