Admin Vista Posted June 16, 2011 Admin Report Posted June 16, 2011 But I don't think I'll be around much longer This morning I put my headlamp bowls and a few other bits and pieces in the dishwasher to clean them up before painting. Excellent labour saving device I thought when they came out shiny and clean Unbeknownst to me was that under all the dirt on the headlamp bowls was a thick layer of ziebart. I know this because I can see faint traces of it left in the nooks and crannies on the bowls. The ziebart removed is now spread liberally through the inner workings of the dishwasher! On the upside, all our pots pans cutlery and crockery are now nicely rust proofed after this evenings trip through what may have to be reclassified as a parts washer
over_head_cam Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Oh dear.... Nice knowing you Scott. Can I have your van?
Admin Vista Posted June 16, 2011 Author Admin Report Posted June 16, 2011 Nice knowing you Scott. Can I have your van? No, I've asked to be buried in it. My intention is to get my money's worth out of them grave diggers as they'll have to dig a F.O. big hole for that eh?
BaileyMex Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Nice one Can I drop all my oily and greasy bit round before I put them back in too??
RS2kSX Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 just been through this myself pistons and bits. came out great but a week down the line the dishes still smell of oil.... flowers and evenings out still not working. may have to buy her a new birthday prescent
baz105e Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 my old dear wasnt very happy when i put a 38 dgas in the dishwasher still full of petrol gave all the dishes a lovely rainbow effect
Admin Vista Posted June 16, 2011 Author Admin Report Posted June 16, 2011 Great to read that I'm not alone
Admin Vista Posted June 17, 2011 Author Admin Report Posted June 17, 2011 oh dear what did the mrs say then? I'm a lucky guy in that respect, she just shrugged and said "if it cleans up it cleans up, if it doesn't, we'll replace it"
over_head_cam Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Result lol. At the end of the day it's only a 'thing' Mind you mine is brand new and the 'one she wanted' so I'm sure death would ensue
Admin Vista Posted June 17, 2011 Author Admin Report Posted June 17, 2011 Result indeed In fact, the precedent set, I think I shall put some more parts in it this morning Even I'm not brave enough to put them in at the same time as the dishes though.
over_head_cam Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 I think that would be pushing you luck just that little bit too far
Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 What a great idea thanks.. Jeff Harris..
Mrs O/H/C Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Oooo, there has been all manner of car parts in the dishwasher over the years luckily as of yet,no lasting damage to the machine
FredTransit Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 There is no way I would consider putting a carb in a dishwaher, did it come out OK? Not that I have ever owned a dishwasher that is....
Grizzley Dell Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 cheers vista i now know what to do to get my mrs to divorce me spose i will have to buy a dishwasher first as i think it might piss her right of if i try inserting my engine parts in her. ( she is the dishwasher in my house.)
w p e Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 surprising how well it works on carb bodys and all other parts
