    Joe,
    I wonder why they even put that stuff in pop anyway? I mean how much Phosphoric acid does your body need in a day?


    Another thing to try is Sodium Hydoxide. This is a very powerful base as apposed to phosphoric acid. It will clean aluminum quite well, (it will burn you badly though), and it is much better for the enviroment than all of the phosphates down the drain.

    No matter what you use BE CAREFUL.

    If you want to try a paint, they sell some called Alumablast which I painted some heads and a trans case with..haven't run it yet but it's not too bad looking. Search it on the web and you'll find it.
