17p - I think you'll find that's cheaper than chips!

 

oh something to do at the weekend!

 

I bought some vinega to test it

 

the vinegar also flash rusts any good clean steel too

best suited to totaly rusted parts

 

got the vinegar and a tub but do we know what effect this will have on the piston and bore of a calliper?

also can the vinegar be re-used or is it a one shot job?

 

i think i will give that a go!

not sure what i could use it on myself, but ill give it a shot one day

 

MOD-merged the threads for you.

 

Vinegar is good for cleaning glass as well

 

And descaling kettle filters and kettles, showerheads, good for azaleas, bee stings, dog/cat pee, use white vinegar, it neutralises the smell, salt and vinegar paste for stained cups/mugs, removing price stickers. Very underestimated.

 

a guy i know, dan is currently rebuilding his punto gt and used vinegar on alot of the parts, in a massive plastic box with lots of cheap bottles, worked a treat!

stinky as though.

 

I use it on chips.

 

I love the tesco's stuff, have used it on bumper bolts/brackets etc Ive got about twenty five bottles left yet but will always come in handy!
