in this video I demonstrate the new process to remove rust from chrome faster and easier than using coca cola and aluminum foil. Rust removal and chrome polishing has never been simpler . Works bad ass on motorcycle and auto chrome parts . cheaper and safer for your café racer or hot rod than chrome polish you can find at nickel town customs.

Ichiban is love 😘
Has nobody on UA-cam ever heard of Naval Jelly? Brush it on, hose it off 15min later. There's nothing better.
Next week, how to remove rust with a simple cucumber and 8 hours of buffing.
Not true. I did it in 7.5. Get real. 😎
ya ol ladies _rubber_ dadidlio works excellent as a substitute... but it's gotta be *RUBBER*
+BONUS+ It gives new definition to the term _"Wax-On-Wax-OFF"_
Lmao
🤣😂
2 hours with that drill would be considered cruel and unusual punishment to most teenagers
Work smarter not harder sir
And 15 mins with that aluminum bar and diamond paper would kill them, no doubt.
A bit of autosolve would take 20 minutes max .
Yeah... I’m an old man.
Turned into a teenager MYSELF,
when he busted out that hand-crank....
Thought I was bout t’see a dremel tool!
What a waste of time for a crap finish.
I have a 1947 Chrysler that belonged to my grandpa. I have been using this exact same method to polish up all the tons of chrome on it. So far I have about half of the lower part of the front bumper done. It looks great after only about 8 years working on it. I can't wait to get it all done.
just takes a little patience
Would have took 5 mins with some normal cleaning paste. Those little dots come back after a little rain etc. Because you're not removing rust. You're removing rust stains from the chrome that leak through those pinholes.
Would have taken*
that drill tho 😂😂😂😂
lol
you sure on that date I'm sure it was 1931 could be wrong tho lol

Freaky Matt 😂🤣 what's up with all his duck tape and broom handle tools too? Did you guys see those sweet screwdrivers on the table? Everything is duck taped Hahaha!
duct not duck
I laughed so hard when you whipped out that manual drill 😂
He sounds educated,sadly no mechanical aptitude, electricity, that my boy😊 is how we roll
Didn't understand your reply pls rephrase it
I used to get the same results (in the 70's/80's) with super fine steel wool. And it didn't take hours - just minutes.
Im from India. Even we stopped using these drills 25 years ago.
It never lets me down and it's cordless
@@IchibanMoto And no charging required. .

Where’d ya get it from? “Ace-rock” hardware?
🤣🤣🤣👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽
@@og-greenmachine8623 I have many of them. I should make a drill video
"Now that I've been polishing on this for a couple of hours'" lol.
Karate Kid: Wax on wax off. My dophin is nice n smooth now after polishing it all day. Thanks.
...now I have a popeye arm. Make sure you switch up or everyone is going to know that you have been polishing it for several hours straight.
I thought the same thing! And then he said “way faster than aluminum and Coca Cola” haha 😂
You know deodorant has aluminum in it, and it's easy to apply. I've been using it for years to polish chrome. Secret is made for a women but strong enough for a fender.
Billy Dean you mean anti-perspirant
@@leo23chivo Does it really work? I have a couple cans of anti-antiperspirant that I never get to use lying around.
Deodorant and antiperspirant are the same thing
@@DavidJones-we7gr no, they’re not.
@@risksrewardsrelics51 interesting
Your solution makes a wonderful polish but I've noticed that all of the rust pets are still very present on that fender and I would suggest taking the fender material down to the level of those pits to penetrate all of the rust first. THEN use your polish concoction. I would use WD-50 as a lubricant an #0000 steel wool to get all of the rust off THEN buff your solution into the fender. All rust pits would be gone AND you'd get a wonderful mirror shine.
I heard hours
Hahah I laughed out loud when I heard that
Hahaha I also heard hours. Then I remembered he is using a manual hand drill
So the old way takes weeks
Oh my goodness barkeepers friend or Baking soda and vinegar would’ve taken 30 minutes.
@@bennemets4471 I personally think it would have been quicker by hand.
But, what do i know, I just do this kinda stuff a out 40-50 hours a week LOL
But I do know some tips and tricks, and all that jazz, so. That home made polish is intriguing, imma give that a try
The end result looks great! That "clean, dry rag" though!!
Do your thing Brother. I use Billet Chrome from Auto Zone 6.00 and saves me from a Swat Team Breaking in and Busting me for that Meth Lab Method you have going on. Great Job !!!!
oxalic acid
mix about a tsp to a gallon of water, drop in part, come back in a few hours or next day and rinse part
hardest part is lifting the water
Hahaha
SMS CUSTOMS Do you mean Mothers Billet Metal Polish?
Awesome reply! Sitting here thinking thru the video,why not just buy the wheel cleaner from AZ
This comment is great, just the way it's worded and not too much not too little, I wish more comedians delivered their jokes like you.
Now that's a nifty hack I'll try it on my front spokes l hate cleaning spokes! And when I'm done I'll clean my work bench top off just like you did another great idea Moto! Thanks buddy!
Simple and worthy
Nice Job Man
Thanks for sharing knowledge.
If you need to polish aluminum that is not anodized and is turning white, use ashes from a wood stove on your buffer - works way better and faster than the expensive pastes. Sift the ashes through a big screen sieve to get a fine consistent powder from your ashes. I have spent many hours polishing aluminum and bought the expensive paste, and then tried wood ashes, trust me. Ashes all the way. Maybe it would work for chrome too?
Ichiban Moto Mad Scientist.....We need more of you on UA-cam.
I tried this stuff on my friend's $50,000 dollar Harley & it works great, he was delighted with the results.
shiny stuff is badass
this is a bad ass channel, glad I ve found it and I look fwd to more...
That cordless drill is badass! The first cordles ever invented
This guys kills me with his hand powered tools 😂😂😂
I’m like WTF?🤭
be careful when using aluminium powder...dont breath it in.
Just use fine steel wool
I used to sand down copper tubing for art and fabrication and let me tell you dumb me didn't use a mask and the after taste was horrid for day's
Yeah it's probably the worst idea. Especially for the old. Alzheimer's and organ failure.
Best to use silvo cleaner, it's basically what he is making but you don't need to worry so much about the pure aluminium powder.
Why? I snort lines of it and never had a problem.
I think this video is exactly what I needed. I like the home brewed concoction with stuff that you find laying around the house and the other stuff is cheap from Canadian tire. thank you so much I'm going to try this on my Kawasaki ltd 750 tomorrow
we don't have Canadian Tire down here
I know its Canadian hence the name lol! Thanks for the vid
Dude is a treasure trove of great info!
I've been polishing chrome for years with 0000 steel wool and Windex. Works great a lot of the rust is bleed over from tiny cracks in the chrome so it basically wipes off. What I haven't figured out yet is how to fill the cracks or pitting where no chrome exists with something that can be polished to get better results on parts in a more neglected state.
I use the 0000 steel wool (w/ Diet Coke, WD-40, or just dry), but how come the Windex?
I use the wool with liquid turtle wax. Works amazing. Old biker trick.
He had me hooked and ready to give it ago, then the word "hours" popped up and I haven't stopped laughing for hours.
Its called elbow grease mate
I had forgotten about this crazy channel
Ok, you sold me, I looked through several videos, got subscribed to BB lady, but kept from subscribing to your channel. I have neither motorcycle nor workshop but after this I give your thumbs up and subscribing.
+Iskander Makhmudov thanks for hanging around and sharing !
So many people talking about his counting skills. There are only three counters in this world. The ones that cant and the ones that don't. You're welcome
Shane Frost Walt a minute... lol
This is expert Chemistry lesson right here. You learn this at Harvard.
nope, its just simple redox reaction dude
you learn this at school
PistnRods *High School
Harvard, LMFAO...no this is called real world street smarts.
Will this work on nickel plated?
Love the tools you use in all your videos lol
Most of these videos are quite interesting, we are never to old to learn.tanks,most appreciated,
Your drill is badass!!
Amish powered means less FAT butts lol
Better than the Milwaukee gen 3 lol
I was wondering what that tool was for. I’ve been cutting my toe nails with the one I have. Thanx Brahda
Good idea for a DIY project however I’ve found that Quick-Glo works in literally seconds right out the can and is AMAZING!!! The best product I’ve ever seen on Chrome! Saw it on Leno’s Garage and thought for $15 a jar why not try it! We recently started working on a 1927 Buick and Quick-Glo brought the Chrome/Nickel trim back!!!!!!! Check it out.....
Again, the DIY chemical reaction is best no doubt but in a pinch I’d recommend Quick-Glo..... you’ll thank me!
Wow, short video with solid content, thanks
I sure feel like soap and scotch Brite would have done that in less than 20 minutes
It would have, still a clever diy though.
Steel Wool grade 0000 and WD-40 so no scratches and the WD removes the rust and lubes for protection, just maybe wipe dry if on a chrome exhaust.
If he's really using that drill to do the whole job he must have a lot of time on his hands🇺🇸🍺
Looking back on the memory of watching my 1st Ichiban Moto video quite fondly. 😁👍🏻
What's that all about 🙄
THE CHROME GOD'S ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS VIDEO!!. thanks brother for this!!! I 'm all over this with a beat up, but still bad ass valve cover n intake set
10 times faster “after a few hours” 😂
i love yor low budget videos, i am poor as hell too XD
Incredible!..... Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. That's amazing!
Just tried it to polish a rusted over Eames LCM. Regular organic kitchen vinegar, couldn't find anything else. Eyeballed the ratios. Hard work but well worth it. It'll shine like new before the week is done. Previous owners thought it was lawn furniture I think, I'll have to relayer the seat and back next.
1:33 I had a seizure.. I laughed when he said "hours"....
Honest question: What makes this stuff special? Wouldn't an off the shelf polishing compound (professionally made) work just as well or better?
I have always used Naval Jelly. IT works super fast and can be buffed out really great.
That's a proper spork repair sir!!!!
Note : For more fast acting solution use Apple cider vinegar.. its stronger acid than white vinegar .. and also baking soda. Can make bubbly solution mixing the two.. and When done make sure acid is nutralized by rubbing in baking soda . (Baking soda, by itself). Otherwise the acid from vinegar may continue to eat away at the metal. Maybe white vinegar and salt may do fine as in this video.. but for more tough or stubborn grimey jobs i recommend using the ingredients i mentioned .. because i tried the salt/white vinegar .. but it wasnt helping fast enuff. So i lookd into how to intensify the process. Came up with that. It served me well.
Why would you (use a stronger acid) only to neutralize it right away??
Also white vinegar is more acidic
those are 7 ichiban stickers!
Simply wow, no other words for that drill 😂😂
Great idea, thanks for the vlog. And thanks for sharing, you got a subscribe and a high five.
Couple hours? that's a 10 minute job with fine steel wool and some baking soda.
steel wool ? i'm no rich boy :(
Ichiban Moto Me either but even as a kid my chrome bicycle fender had more rust on it than that but I borrowed my mothers steel wool she used for cleaning in the kitchen and it takes that kind of rust off almost instantly. It doesn't scratch the chrome either. Chrome being pretty hard material.
Nevr-Dull and 5 minutes. No need to over complicate things, Just get yourself a jar of nevr-dull wadding polish. You can reuse it over and over so it is very cost effective. I have had and used the same tin for about 7 years. Pretty good for a 5 dollar can of polishing wadding
darkwiddow1 I have used that before. Nevr-Dull works pretty good. Brillo pad is still faster and cheaper though.
five dollars for what.. I'm no rich boy
How long does it take you to build a sarcastic set of instructions and then make a video that actually is very high in quality?
You do make it seem like a perfectly simple process to clean an almost trashcan worthy contestant.
You surely are the "Gotcha AGAIN!!!" of UA-cam!
I've seen a lot of comments teasing about the drill. As a contractor, I have to say that's a great drill. there's a lot you can do with a little hand drill like that which is superior (not faster) than an electric. for this job I'd use electric for the speed but that drill will last forever, doesn't need an outlet, and is especially good for drilling through glass tile (with the right bit) or drilling somewhere you don't feel like running an extension cord when you just need to make a quick small hole.
+David Boone it never lets me down ! :D
Did this to my cat. It really turned out great!
AlCO3 is actually a treatment for Cat's intestinal issues.
subliminal advertising much lol!
Cool demo thank you!
awesome! I'm gonna try that! do you think this can get rid of these tiny points on the chrom surface?
stop messing with my head, that's 7 stickers ;P
+arcadeuk no, there are approximately five
+arcadeuk There are four lights!!
+Mark Turney well, look at that !
+Ichiban Moto Picard was "bad ass"!
+Mark Turney thanks for sharing awesomeness Mark ! :)
that clean dry rag.
joefrancis ochia I
Awesome. Love the old hand drill;)
Dude, you are a riot. I'm loling all over myself while I search on amazon for aluminum bars and diamond cloth.
rust and aluminium powder. let's see.
thermite !
Please comment on the danger of handling aluminum dust. How dangerous could it be on your skin or in the air?
Its not dangerous, they're spaying 10's of millions of tons of it into the atmosphere to try and stop the dreaded "global warming". They finally admitted they have been covertly doing it since 2005 to save us all.
Noe Berengena it can cause alzeimers dementia

@@Forlornguild A great example of the dumbing down of America.
going to whip some up, and polish my st-90`s chrome. thanks!
I'll bet that workbench polished up pretty good too. Badass!
+naioti I like to keep a nice plasticopatina on it... but it's all ruined now...
You don't have electricity 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steel wool works better 0000 trust me MAN 👍
That buffing wheel and contraption is ancient!
I always get a kick with the exaggeratedly ineffective step in the whole process =D that's one of the things that makes these videos so appealable
thank you for watching and sharing!
It's got electrolytes...
I have the same drill.............
i love how i can store the bits in the handle :D
Me too. But I do not have that weird polishing bit. I think he made it himself.
Its funny...hes really serious about his s***
Great idea!! Nothing like rubbing salt into metal. Nothing says i want rust more than that.
What a Cute polishing pad.. btw thanks great video
Couple hours???
couple hours of stupidity??? ha ha ha
It used to take 80 hours (and a lot of Coke) per bike. "This process works 10x faster than Coke and regular aluminum foil."
Hahahahaha I lost it when he said that
why use coke which is an overpriced brand at £2 a bottle ? when supermarkets brand is around 20p
+girlsdrinkfeck
the small amount of cocaine that is mixed into real coke at the factory (which is only a very small amount... round about 1gram per can) reacts with the aluminium powder to create a more powerful chrome enhancer. We learned about this at chrome polishing college.
Um, isn't powdered aluminum explosive, too?
Daniel WW yes very
The space shuttle's solid rocket boosters ran on that and an oxidizing agent!
powdered aluminum and rust makes, oh boy!
i have a video on thermite
Ichiban Moto,
There are some cool vids on u-tube on it. Iooks fun, but not much of a practical need! lol
Melting, welding steel with it could be a blast though!! :)
This is high tech stuff. Especially that drill.
But that was 7 stickers...
it was kinda fiveish
acid wheel cleaner and some fine steel wool would have done that in less than 2 minutes
acid is hard to come by. back in college, it was as common as weed
Or just vinegar
@@IchibanMoto 😂
Wow! That was really awesome. Thanks!!
+Abdul Hassan you are very welcome !
Dude definitely subscribed after your first video
You've provided solutions to a few of my motorcycle issues in quick, blunt, and relatable presentations of audio and video .
Hell yeah man
Dangerous metal POWDER!
Wtf 1:33
I'd follow that with Turtle Wax mag wheel polish. That'll get some of the scratches and pits out of the surface. Works well on stainless steel mufflers too. I did that every spring on the SS exhaust on my '94 Probe tuner for years...same muffler too.
That’s a fanTAStic scrub pad!!!
its still pitted
Totally pitted dude! Gnarly
+Cole McNair WA-PAH
....like that
will it work on cocaine kitty's cooter to get it back in shape like it was 20 years ago??
😂
Best way to find out is make up a small batch and get to rubbing that rusty old cooter and see what happens. Be sure to keep us posted.
you are a genius man!... you know what you are talking about... and that's rare now! ... thank you :)
decades of experience !
Absolutely fugn genius videos on so many different levels dude :-D Love your work (Y)
thanks for watching man !
Go get yourself a proper cordless drill. This makes me sick.
....... but my drill is cordless
+Ichiban Moto Is it a proper one? ;)
+topdavid Of course. A proper cordless has no cord.
It's funny because as soon as I saw the old school hand drill come out I knew you were a badass lol
topdavid - really? as in sick 'sick'? That fucking hand drill looked pretty damn bad, I have to agree. And the polishing pad was also the shuts.
Very nice, thank you.
This works SOO WELLL
Awesome ! A life saver for me lol
That's 1 badass hand buffer!
it never lets me down!
A miraculous transformation. I would imagine that using your drill you had to be careful about heat build up. Maybe using the formula after storing in in the freezer would help.
i shall try that tip !
Imagine what you could do with an "electric drill" on slow speed..!! i burst out laughing when you brought out the hand drill. certainly wasn't expecting that.🤣🤣🤣
Yea Man that turned out pretty sweet!
all shiny
That is astonishing!
