swampy 0 Posted May 9, 2012 There used to be a company based just outside Manchester called FROST AUTOMOTIVE they did a kit for this at a reasonable price Not sure if they are still going, they also did anodising kits etc aswell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dochy 0 Posted May 9, 2012 yeh they look pretty easy to make!dont have anyone local so would need to sent the bits away!!well worth a shot!!if you dont hear back then the chances are its gone horribly wrong!1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted May 9, 2012 i've done it before, it wrecked my battery charger so i didn't bother with it anymore, good results from it, but i've since found deox-c powder gets as good if not better results without the faffing with wires etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dochy 0 Posted May 9, 2012 just checked that stuff out as ive never heard of it before.looks awsome!im getting some!!maybe lots if it proves as good as it looks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 10, 2012 Go on ebay and buy citric acid powder instead. Much cheaper than deox and the same thing. I got all my hubs and stuff soaking as I type. Minimal effort mess and cost. Stuff comes up great after some soaking and a wire brush Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
