I'm not sure where you get your engine parts and brake calipers dipped, but I wouldnt be going there again Confused

The acid used for dipping engine parts and calipers does not harm metals at all. However it will eat the shit out of plastic, rubber and all other waxy substances.

Oh and sandblasting will remove more of the metal than acid ever will.

acid DOES harm metals (except gold, platinum and others with either resistance or acidic passivation) used in engines, ie ferrous and aluminium alloys (thats what acids chemically do)

if this 'acid dip' removes plastic, rubber and waxy substances (i assume grease and oil too), then it is more likely a mixture of 'solvents', not acids. but i would be interested in finding out what is actually in it.. sounds more like a 'chemical dip'.

heh heh, particularly when sandblasting alloy rims for use on light planes.... oops Rolling Eyes
