Lucifer Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 As you might have seen im stripping my Sup and starting again. But instead of buying a load of new bold and screws, I would like to clean the old ones up to a new style finish. Does anyone have a tried and tested method for doing this, not afraid of spending some cash to achieve the desired results. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Get hold of a few litres of paraffin mate, after a bit of a scrub in it (or a soak overnight) they'll be like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this affect any tensile strength at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Leaving them overnight in Coke is supposed to clean them right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 It’s a cleaning method thats been used for decades, as far as I know it'll only removed oil, grease and rust from any metallic component without damaging it. It's a chemical reaction with the surface 'scum' so I can't see that it would affect the component itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
