Coca-Cola on windows...

**BRUHA** · 08-30-2004, 12:41 PM

Has anyone ever heard of pouring Coca-Cola on windows for removing grit and grime??? I was talking to someone over the weekend that said that they pour Coke on the windows to remove dirt. Sounds very risky to me...seeing how Coke is so acidic. I don`t know...I just had to ask...

I never heard of it. I have heard of pouring it on bugs,tar and birdbombs. I`ve never tried it though.

What a waste of perfectly good Coke - what`s wrong with Bug & Tar, Bird S___ Remover, or the like? I`d think it would just make more/different mess to be cleaned.

I don`t know about the windows, but the Mythbusters used it on chrome and it seemed to remove rust. I just think there are other things out there to clean windows with.

Years ago while on one of those family road trips from hell. My father asked a gas station guy back in the day when they had them. How he could remove grime from the window that had built up. He asked my dad f ro a quarter and got as coke from the machine and poured it on a rag then wiped the window. Al the crap came off and then he cleaned it with regular glass cleaner. I have never forogt that always made me wonder what coke does to your stomach. I do think that`s its the acid in the coke that cuts the grime

I`ve heard of people cleaning chrome, I`ve used Coke to clean my radiator internally (removed from car) but I`d never use in on glass or paint.

Think about the acid, better yet think about the sugar!

I remember people using it to take wax/grime build-up off of the windows

Anybody knows the acidity of coke?

My dad used a coke one time to take off grease that had got on the windsheild one time ....... That was years ago and it worked. When i say grease it was from like the car was parked under a shelter and he cooked on the grill if that makes any sense.

Sounds like an old wive`s tale to me. :bsflag

Totally unrelated, but fun to read about Coke.Coke Lore

I imagine club soda would work just as well. But then with so many glass cleaners out there, I don`t really care to find out.

Im sure coke works fine. Just as some water and a terry or other abrasive towel (yes, abrasive towel.. if that makes sense). I would think coke would make a bigger mess than it would remove due to all of the sugar.

Today I cleaned some windows COVERED in smoke residue. I used a terry towel with my glass cleaner to start (I didnt want to get my mfs too dirty lol) and then I followed that with the same glass cleaner and a mf. It worked perfectly. So I think in bad situations, change the cloth and not the chemical.
