Coke and Foil on Greddy tips? Anyone try?
I've seen it on Mythbusters and heard it from ol'skool hot rodders but has any tried Coke and Aluminum Foil on the tips of their golden Greddy tips? I've used special polishes with some good results but can it really be as simple as raiding my wife's cupboards for materials?

should work, active ingredient is phosphoric acid.

Will probably have to let it sit overnight.

I heard peeing on them works too.
Try it out and let us know how it goes and what your neighbors think.

Only if you like a matte/satin finish.
