Oooooo paint stripper (obviously lmao)

Brake fluid can do that as well...

ummm...pretty much anything that is acidic to the point that it is designed to de-materialise a hardy substance. I know metho and turps takes the clear coat away lol

oooo chompies is in the house...melbournes champion car detailer...he'll know

Yah, i think it would take out the clear coat too, and even the paint, but it depend on the quantity and do you apply any force "eg. rub it".....and i think they would evaporate because they are alcohol base.

on a 40 degree day some one spilt a can of coke on our tx3.......................after 1 day it became part of the paint and after 2 weeks started rusting those spots ( even thought it initially had been washed off already)................i cant imagine what nail polish remover would do.................eventually 3 panels of the car had to be stripped and re-pained cause the rust was growing............so ppl dont drink coke next ur beautiful cars and if u do spill it clean it before it dries...........dont think oh i'll just wash it off tomorrow cause it would save u so much more money if u do it straight away. :(

Oh wow....I knew Coke is very acid...but didn't know it can do such a damage.....i'd better quit Coke.....if it can rust the car, imagine what it can do to your stomach......

I had someone spill some coke on my last car before, but lucky it was raining that night....

Fact:

Truck mechanics use Diet Coke to soak bearings and other parts. Diet Coke is more acidic due to Asulphame and Ace K used (sweetener).

Lol...go on a diet! Drink diet coke and liquify your insides! *thumbs up*

Please do not leave nail polish remover on your paint over night. Nail polish remover contains solvents which will eat your paint away.

What are you trying to accomplish neK? There may be better solutions.

Went thru the proper channels first time, didnt work.

Left it alone thinking its better to ignore them, so they did it again 6 months later.

Revenge is sweet, but ill sit on the idea for a while before acting.

So what actually do you want to do? Do you want to remove touch up paint etc.?

If it's not a big spot, try polish it off bit by bit...it takes long, but it shouldn't damage your clear coat, and just removing anything above the it.

Nail polish remover is great for those "foreign" colours that are left on your car after they farken swipe your door with their red bumper.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
