(and by then, most of the bones in your hands from incidental exposure) Your best chance of removing it is using an ultrasonic bath and irrigating it as much as possible. I recommend starting over again on the powder coaters dime. After all this IS his fault. Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf. My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D what? It looks a little stumpy, but fits great in the hand! (n/m) - ZEngineer 12/12/06
