Apple Cider Vinegar Rust Inside the car - Toyota Yaris Forums

YodaBird · 07-01-2015, 08:05 PM

I've been putting rags of apple cider vinegar throughout the car for three months due to, if you've read my squirrel problem thread. I've noticed that rust is forming in areas, I have decided to stop doing this but with some elbow grease it comes off, but some areas are extremely hard to remove. Can this cause damage to areas that I can't remove to the car ? Can it get though the carpet of the car ?

As for the squirrel problem; I'm planning on finding a solution, if I can find a solution, until I move which is the best solution !

I'm not sure where you are putting this vinegar, but I believe vinegar is highly acidic, thus your problem with rust.

Refusal to believe that it may just actually work.

In the mean time...

Location of where I am; doesn't permit putting traps. That is why I can't use traps, otherwise I may get fined since some know I'm the one with the problem, the likelihood is good I'd get a fine.

All the steel parts in the car are oxidized, simply wiping with even saliva it comes off, problem is, there are many hard to reach areas that I can't get to. If I could DE-oxidize the air and it would fall off, that would be great.
