Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they have had car body panels chemically cleaned by dipping in caustic before? I seem to remember reading in a recent club magazine about someopne who'd had it done.
I've been cleaning smaller parts myself by boiling in a small tank of caustic and then dipping in phosphoric acid solution. This is much more effective than sand blasting as it gets in to the seams.
Can't heat a tank big enough for wings or doors though so any information or ideas would welcome.
