Default coca-cola to clean your lexus?

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

Instead of Cola, try using soda water, like Canada Dry or something. It wont be as sticky... But usually, soda solutions r used to clean up battery acid...u know, act as a base.

I don't doubt that baking soda works WELL, but I doubt it works AS well, considering that it's not just the carbonated water, but the citric acid in coke that disolves grime and breaks stuff down....Hell if I know, I'm no scientist
