Acid soak is controversial. You may want to try these other things first. Dish detergent soak To remove the oils: - Spray off first, lightly, just to get loose junk off. Don't spray close b/c you will drive oils into the filter and clog it. - One cup dish washer detergent (dish washer not dish soap) to every five gallons of water, soak overnight in 50gal trash tub. - Use pressure washer or take filters to self car wash and clean thoroughly Try spraying with vinigar, because calcium binds with dirt and oil, and vinigar can break that down. Spray them off one time (spraying down) with pressure washer Put white vinigar in weed sprayer Spray on and let sit for 20-30 min. Spray off with pressure washer, really well
Thanks! I am interested in the acid/water wash - what ratio do you use when you clean that way?
