I cannot be the first to find this out?

Hello,

 

I searched though the forum and found nothing so here is what I came up with.

 

So I am building my motor for STI, I love to detail the car, but it is a track car. Anyways i poured some APC into a jar and let some of my bolts soak in there over night.

 

1. The APC took off the dirt and they look like brand new bolts again.

2. It took off the old loctite/glue, no more trying to scrap off the old loctite/ glue any more.

 

Hope this helps guys.

Nice. I never thought to do this. I always use a fine wire wheel on a bench grinder to clean off bolts.

Anybody have any experience using APC on black chrome?

I have a customer with issues right now, not pleasant, but haven't seen anything first hand.

Sorry, I don't have any Black Chrome except the letters on my fuel rail covers and they just get DS.

All purpouse usually means something. Oh wait i just came from a product that all purpose meant crap. Darn sold again looks like another 1-200 dollar order.

Soak in APC again after the Metal Polish?

 

Yeah, it gets the excess metal polish out from under the diamonds and what not.

I tried cleaning my contacts with it once..they were real clean but the burning sensation was a bit much.J/K

 

Duh! You should have removed them first.

^shoot, I missed that part..

What I do is soak it in APC, rinse with water, Metal Polish and then repeat the first step.
