Problems starting the car? Rusty car battery contacts interrupt the connection to the starter motor, making it difficult or even impossible to start the car. If you don't have any contact spray to hand, you can simply use cola to get the car battery going again.

 

It's true: the acidic properties of drinks containing lemonade such as cola, Fanta etc. eliminate corrosion in the car battery. The carbon dioxide contained in the lemonade removes rust residue, which can interrupt the contact when the car is started.

Simply pour a little lemonade onto the rusty areas of the car battery and leave to work for a while.

Wipe off the dissolved rust residues with a damp sponge.
