Great video, love the title slide graphics and looking forward to seeing all of the dirty work that comes with keeping a Rabbit so fresh! I’m sure that back alley pallet has seen it’s far share of dirty work with that pressure washer! 😆
Great video & very humorous too. Been looking at other videos to clean up the aluminium head for my MR2 turbo & this has been the most insightful. Great work dude.
I use both Sulphuric acids and and Muriatic acids on LS heads with no issues. This guy must be a pitch guy for Home Depot to buy their substandard junk. Usually mixing TSP which is Tri Sodium Phosphate and Muriatic acid is good enough and believe it or not the junk he has in hands is a substandard form of a premixed TSP solution. If you buy a commercial grade TSP or Mix up something like TIDE in a 5 gallon bucket with really hot water add Muriatic acid and its a dream come true. However it is a two step process like most professional shops will take the head out of the hot bath and clean any heavy deposits. Doing this at home in say some big metal tub or big plastic tub you once again need hot water and usually I will put tons of TSP or laundry detergent in the hot water as I sometimes for grungy heads do my thing with boiling water which is best dumped in a metal tub not plastic folks. Hot boiling water can with acids in it or having had acid in it can give ya a real heart attack if done indoors. Plastic gets fatigue real quick from acids. If U use a Sulphuric acid base only use about a half a quart and just pour into your metal tank and brush down the heavy deposits. Not reasons to empty the stuff it gets cold that is when U use the light Muriatic acid with the TSP mixed in hot water. Works like a dream and best temps to work with the stuff is above 70 degrees let is sit a 2-3 days in a metal tank take it out and Immediately coat it with some form of a veggie oil or ever a clean motor oil. It might dull the finish some but it will stop any farther unwanted chemical reactions from happening once the head sits or gets remounted.

Points for good humor lol. Thanks for the simple instructions!
Don’t use green ryloc on aluminium. Use white it’s less abrasive
Fuckin love the wholesome honesty.
Would the Simple Green solution also work to clean exhaust and intake manifolds as well as little bits like the coolant flanges on the 1.6D?
Great video! Please keep sharing!
How has the aluminum head held up since then?
