A soft drink that most Britons store in their fridge could remove the rust from their cars in a matter of seconds, a motor fan has revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rust repairs on cars are notoriously expensive as they occasionally warrant the replacement of entire panels, but there are cheaper ways to circumvent hefty costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chemical reactions happen anywhere on a vehicle where the car\u2019s metal parts have started reacting with oxygen and providing iron oxide.<\/p>\n
Removing it is every driver\u2019s worst nightmare as repair costs can range anywhere between $400 and $2,000, excluding repainting frees.<\/p>\n
Fortunately,\u00a0motor fanatics\u00a0at Motor Biscuit have shared a quick-fix solution for tackling car rust, using just Coca-Cola and a sponge.<\/p>\n
