Homemade Soda Blaster

Just remember baking soda is not going to be very aggressive. You won't be able to use it for heavy clean up. It does work pretty good for what I did though.

This could also be used for any clean up of parts that require a gentle touch, aluminum, plastic trim etc.

Your right it is not suppose to damage glass or chrome trim. and is a very gentle cleaner to the part, but I have found soda to work wonders on cleaning some nasty dirty oily parts and striping paint. For example pistons, timing chain covers, rocker arms and shafts.
