I mean, rusty parts.

how does it work on the bodies, britney?

i don't clean my parts. people clean them for me

Note that the plastic tube end does wear away but the ali parts come up like new and undamaged.

Looking at some youtube links on the soda cleaning and it can clean the paint off metal without damaging the metal underneath. The link show a glassfibre body of corvette being blasted and the paint is removed with no damage to the glassfibre body work.

It's really, really corrosive and if inhaled will give you the shits pretty bad. Other than that, go ahead.

I use this oven cleaner paste I got from the pound shop.

I'm off to clean my bike now!

Soap and water is also very good for cleaning grease of parts.

This is overkill.

Baking soda's not corrosive, and aafter doing some blasting of some engine cases with out a mask and was fine. No shits or anything.

Going to try with some painted carbon fibre soon see the outcome.

I've got a mate that does mine...

Thought this was supposed to be sensible area of the forum.

Not when you're in it...
