I worked in tire shops for years. A car once came in that had been bologna'd. It did not strip the paint, but it did fade it some in the spots where the slices had been.
That story probably comes from the days before modern clear coat. Cars used to just be paint and wax, and now they have a hard clearcoat on them to help protect the paint.
As the owner of a white Honda, I can tell you they've made a paint that can withstand virtually anything including bug guts, egg, tree sap, and coffee, but flakes off in the wind because they couldn't get it to bond to the primer correctly. Fortunately they issued a TSB and covered my roof repaint so I wasn't out $1700
A lot of manufacturers use single stage paint for white with no clear cost so that doesn’t help either lol. Always go for a metallic white because they will have clear coat, at least for Toyota
I had a 1973 Nova and learned the hard way about DOT 3 brake fluid: I set the container on the fender for under a minute. It left a wet ring, and when I wiped it off, the paint came with it. Good to see how much better today’s paint jobs are.
I've always heard it's bologna with mustard not just bologna. Supposedly the acids in the mustard ate the paint and the bologna kept the mustard in place. Never mad enough at a car to try it though.
I heard this when I was younger also (in the ''70s). Older cars were often painted with laquear, which isn't as durable as modern clear coats. From what I remember, you also needed to use mustard. It's likely the bologna and mustard had different chemicals in them back then too.
yes it was in the 70's that I was told about eggs. I believe that was before clear coat came out. not sure exact date but a search said yrs of 84 to 86 was the first time for the "clear coat" finish
Our high school rumor was condiments like ranch dressing, mustard or ketchup would work, as long as it was sunny enough and the condiment was acidic. I never knew anyone who actually tried this, but the idea was you could draw on a teacher's car in the morning, and it would sit in the sun all day, then when they finally made it to a car wash, it would take the paint off. Try some other substances and put the car in the sun!
@@SandAngels73 this is what I heard also. I was told "it may sound fun, but do not eggs cars on halloween due to the damage it will cause" it may sound like a prank but is really property damage.
The new clear coat is the winner in this one:) I had a 57 Ford and brake fluid 100% would take the paint off, left fender did not look good after that spill. Thank you Tyler, just love the weird vids you make;)
I remember someone telling me that if you peeled apart oreos and put the creme side onto a car it would ruin the paint over time. I also heard that pouring a bowl of cheerios and milk onto a car's finish and leaving it there for several days would destroy it. These are probably both falsehoods.
More proof that you really do love those car lol I was walking a few months ago and noticed what I thought was an advertisement on everyone’s cars (windshield) but it ended up being a piece of cheese 🤷♂️ at least would go well with some bologna. For real though I’ve only heard of egg being best for paint destruction
Cut letters out of the Bologne and the put on the back windshield. The theory is that when the meat heats up the oil seeps in between the multilayered safety glass and stain the plastic layers. As to the paint, maybe MEK? another great vid, dude
The thing with the Bologna is it is put on a car that has been sitting in the sun and is hot and it leaves faded circles on the paint where it was placed. It may not have the same affect on a newer car as it does on older cars because of the differences in the chemical makeup of the newer paint jobs on cars.
Brake fluid will strip paint if left on long enough. Just a few days will do it. I bought a car without realizing it had a brake fluid leak at the master cylinder that kept the frame wet. It not only removed the paint, the frame rusted from exposure to the elements unpainted. I have used it to remove paint from some plastics before repainting, like motorcycle fairings.
I’m from MN and I remember something nasty to do (no I never did it) was to “egg” someone’s car. The idea was to do this during winter. I guess supposedly the raw egg would damage the paint
Yeah egg is th eonly one I've heard that does anything, I'm sure solvents and other cleaning stuff would do worse, but 'natural' things eggs is the only one, maybe like citrus slices, but probably not on modern paint.
A lot of these myths came from the days of single stage paint, but as far as I know, the only ones that actually etch the paint are brake fluid and eggs.
When they say they ruin the paint i think it just causes a bit of discoloration like the fluid did, i've heard this also happens with bird poop if you leave it for days on your car
If I remember right you are suppose to put mustard on the bologna. Then mustard side down in the sun. The chemical reaction between the two should hurt the pant
We'll seen as brake fluid is corrosive that doesn't surprise me That it would do that to your paint I would like to see you bring back the jars again and put things in them With brake fluid...
When you have a paint job it’s usually multiple layers sealed with multiple layers of clear coat . There is also paint jobs that are single stage meaning no clear coat after the paint. That was common when this happened
When I was a kid I remember having this toy gun that would shoot random stuff and I for some reason decided to put a flour and water mix in it. The next day I noticed that I had got some on my sisters car and when I removed it the paint came off.
I've seen it as a kid. The combo of the way bologna was made in the 70s and 80s and the paint wasn't like it is now.. and my ex used brake fluid to remove Testers paint from his models
Did the brake fluid actually "discolor" the paint or did it remove the clearcoat and/or paint? Looks like it could be bare metal showing but hard to tell on a silver car. Maybe try on a different paint color
Considering this rumor is at least 50 years old, it was fun to watch on what may be a newer car/paint/clear protectant,sealer. I remember hearing this but do not know anyone who ever admitted doing it.
Young Tyler having a conversation with his mom "Mom can we get the new season of myth busters" "No Tyler we have myth busters at home" Myth busters at home 😂 Love your videos mate ❤
So close, Tyler!! The bologna and the freeze dryer are in the same frame, but now we need to put them together. Please. 🙏🏻 All I'm asking for is freeze dried deli meats and hot dogs. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
DOT4 will eat up paint for sure. In a day I don’t think so but prolonged periods of exposure I know it does for sure. Had to repaint my master cylinder on my Harley because of it leaking slowly. DOT4 just stripped it.
Maybe try this again next year during the summer in the scorching heat and leave it on there during peak sun hours. I would like to see what the difference is!
If you look at around the 4:39 mark you can see the Bologna did do something. You see it again at the 7:16 mark & pretty much through the end. Every time he steps out of the way of the light hitting it you can see circles...lol. So it did something.
When I lived in Las Vegas my apartment neighbors got in a huge, outrageous fight. The next morning I came down to leave for work and there was ketchup all over my neighbors car, who’s parking spot was also next to mine. They wrote “cheater”, etc. and just splattered it everywhere and some got on my car via collateral damage. It was 109 degrees. It took me YEARS to get the splatters off my car. I scrubbed and scrubbed and assumed it was in the paint. What ended up taking it off was salt from the road from moving to the northeast. Ketchup is no joke.
Heard this too also supposedly eggs if you don't wash it out for a couple days only thing I know tree sap also does that discoloration if it's on the paint for awhile
If the brake fluid is spilled onto a scratched surface it will eat under the paint and lift it. If just left on the top of the paint it will take a long time to eat through it.
My dad was a huge stickler about using and playing with silly string. Especially around his car he would always express that I would peel off the paint if we would have sprayed it
Honestly, if you are running out of ideas, going from product reviews and rock tumbler tests to myth busting would be an awesome jump! It would be less expensive alternative and would keep the unique feel of your current videos! I hope this comment doesn't come off as critical or rude, just giving a suggestion if you ever want to find an alternative in the years coming! :D
A little more difficult thing to test, i heard bird poop should not be left on a car too long in the sun because of acids in it and heat. also brake fluid does ruin paint and plastics, it might have changed slightly to reduce/minimize damage but i've had it eat paint and badly discolor plastics.
Either Tyler's neighbors are super cool and they're all friends. Or his neighbors think he is some sort of psycho. Talking to himself in his garage all the time at 2 in the morning. Lol
When I was in high school I drove an 03 f150 and had the brilliant idea of seeing if I could fry and egg on the top. That shit ate right through the paint. I remember my old man telling me what a dumbass I was as if it was common knowledge that egg whites will strip paint.
Hey tyler i think it would be a cool idea to covered your ehole car roof in break fluid to see how that color really changes. It looks brighter and cleaner like it cleaner a spot.
As a kid, I always heard if you put pineapple juice on the windshield and left it out in the sun, it would shatter the glass. Never tried it. Always thought it was BS.
I can add to this!!!! I had a girlfriend in high school that put shaving cream all over my dodge pickup. It had some pretty old paint on it. I might add that clear coats on modern vehicles are very resistant to staining and chemicals. Nevertheless less the truck was an 84 and it stained every single panel that it was put on. Also it cooked in 100 sun for 12 hours. So that may have added to the mess. I would say older clear coat with high temps can contribute to considerably worse outcomes!
I worked in tire shops for years. A car once came in that had been bologna'd. It did not strip the paint, but it did fade it some in the spots where the slices had been.
I can only imagine the excitement Tyler had all day waiting till night to throw bologna on his car
That story probably comes from the days before modern clear coat. Cars used to just be paint and wax, and now they have a hard clearcoat on them to help protect the paint.
Exactly this. Have seen brake fluid eat paint on a 70s Oldsmobile. Not sure about the bologna or shaving cream though.
Shaving cream will burn words into a 1970 Mustang. 100% true
My 94 Taurus did not need any of those things to make the clear coat fall off, it just gave up. I can't really blame it too much, it was a 94 Taurus.
@@coverton old lacquer clear coat
@@alw1217 yea. My 86 Taurus had rust holes clear through it. Spray painted it flat black and it looked like something out of RoboCop.

Todays paint jobs are a work of science and years of testing. Generations apart.
Yeah, I've used brake fluid to remove acrylic paint and some primers, but modern clear coats ar a lot more resistant.
Tyler is so happy all the time, even when he's been lied to about baloney...
It's baloney baloney.
Bologna 😂
Living his dream. 🙌🏾
I've always heard it's bologna with mustard not just bologna. Supposedly the acids in the mustard ate the paint and the bologna kept the mustard in place. Never mad enough at a car to try it though.
it is, and it works best on strong colors.
Tyler: *buying shaving cream*
Cashier: don't do it!
Tyler: don't worry it's not for my face
Tyler with a razor ...scary 😅😅
cashier:
🤨
Epic beard hah
Tyler essentially made bologna jerky!! 🤣
that sounds worst then bologna 🤮
Maybe these work better on single-stage paint? Like what they used on older cars pre 1980
I heard this when I was younger also (in the ''70s). Older cars were often painted with laquear, which isn't as durable as modern clear coats. From what I remember, you also needed to use mustard. It's likely the bologna and mustard had different chemicals in them back then too.

Our high school rumor was condiments like ranch dressing, mustard or ketchup would work, as long as it was sunny enough and the condiment was acidic. I never knew anyone who actually tried this, but the idea was you could draw on a teacher's car in the morning, and it would sit in the sun all day, then when they finally made it to a car wash, it would take the paint off.
Try some other substances and put the car in the sun!
Supposedly eggs will too. Don't know if it's true or not.
Yes I heard more acidic things like BBQ or even mustard. Things like that.
@@SandAngels73 this is what I heard also. I was told "it may sound fun, but do not eggs cars on halloween due to the damage it will cause" it may sound like a prank but is really property damage.
oddly enough i heard you have to cover the bologna in mustard then let it sit in the sun to have it peel
If you're serious about messing up the paint on a car, spray EZ Off oven cleaner on the car. It don't take long to eat the paint off.
Thank you for guiding those of us that came here to learn how to fuck up the paint of cars
@@RamoArt you're welcome, lol 😂
I've actually used oven cleaner to strip and clean a set of wheels for my car. So it can work for sure.
Might do damage to old single stage enamel paint.
dude I literally cried laughing when you slapped the bologna onto the car. sooooo satisfying and exactly what I would have done
Missed the perfect opportunity.
*peels the slice off the car*
"That didn't do anything! This myth is just bologna"
The new clear coat is the winner in this one:) I had a 57 Ford and brake fluid 100% would take the paint off, left fender did not look good after that spill. Thank you Tyler, just love the weird vids you make;)
We all know what Tyler was going to draw
The bologna thing was meant to be put on old cars that were made from steel, not on a fiberglass or plastic whatever todays cars are made of.
I think myth-busting is this channel's future.
This is the science we need!
I guess you could say that myth... Was a load of bologna....
I remember someone telling me that if you peeled apart oreos and put the creme side onto a car it would ruin the paint over time. I also heard that pouring a bowl of cheerios and milk onto a car's finish and leaving it there for several days would destroy it. These are probably both falsehoods.
I'll just assume that was from your dad, right after you spilled your cereal on the hood of his car.

I don't know if it will damage car paint, but some raw egg leaked out of a garbage bag and pealed the paint off my porch steps.
Had a bottle of brake fluid leak in the bed of my truck and I can assure you it WILL bubble up paint.

Idk why. But Tyler sends like he would own a grey Taco. The sedan was surprising.
Is cheese or mustard those mess up the paint
Technically you're checking if it will damage clearcoat.

Eggs also “so I have heard” will damage the paint.
This needs testing! 😊
They damaged the paint on my 1997 Oldsmobile Intrigue.
The shell will chip the paint on impact when thrown.
Yes, if left on the paint, eggs will certainly damage the clear coat. Possibly to the point of needing to strip and repaint.
What happened to membership can you let us know something
Your car has a clearcoat. That didnt exist prior to the 80's.
I learned something new today! That makes me appreciate old cars that are in great condition so much more

Hey Tyler do the same test but with oven cleaner and pb blaster and acetone
Most ppl would grab a hood from junk yard. Tyler tries on his own car😂
Never heard of that before I've heard egg damages it I've always been curious really hoped you'd try it 😅

What in this world is this video! Love you tyler! Your awesome man!
Old enamel paint had not clear coat so maybe that's why. And the brake fluid I remember being bad for paint is the thick red colored brake fluid

Back in the day cars didnt have clearcoat or if so only a layer or 2 max so the oils in the bolgna would pull the paint up or bubble it

Try doing it during the summer and see if anything changes.

It has to freeze
I remember hearing about doing during mid day during the heat of summer
I've heard that eggs can mess up your paint, but as other have said, this probably a myth from before clear coat.
