Sticky Steering Wheel

its also a common food additive
No, no it's not.

It's nasty strong stuff. I was cleaning the nicotine and tar off ceiling tile rails with that stuff. It cuts through it like magic. And strips your skin just as fast.

it is some strong stuff but i have never had it hurt my hands. i have rentals and it does wonders with nasty kitchens after a tenant moves out . not sure how to describe it but some people can leave an entire house sticky and nasty. maybe a combo of cigarette smoke and cooking oil ?

I understand. Read the package cautions.

I've used the new stuff and it's not as good.

The real stuff strips nicotine and tar like magic.

its also taken as a dietary supplement . you wont see me eating it lol just saying.
Although the amounts of TSP used in food are much lower than the levels used in industrial products and cleaners, consuming one gram could cause health problems like diarrhea and abdominal pain. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved TSP as safe, but the phosphate content in food is not usually marked on packaging.

Popular foods containing trisodium phosphate include lunch meat, ham, and other processed meats, rice syrup, canned soups, pizza dough, cake mixes, cheese sauces, and baked goods. Almost any food requiring processing and freezing features this additive.

Very small quantities. Not the stuff you use to clean walls.
 
It was harder to upload the photos than it was to find the food in question.
And none of those have significant quantities.

Or better yet, take the cereal, mix it with water, and try to clean smoke and nicotine off ceiling tile tracks.

Let me know how that milligram level works for you.

It's apples and oranges.

yes of course lol another interesting fact is it is also used laxative so one persons ^^health problem^^ can be another health solution. once again you wouldn't see me eating the stuff
 
this is all useless info as i don't suggest that anyone should eat TSP lol. it looks like 1 cup of cereal has about 180mg of TSP per cup or about 1/10 of one teaspoon by volume per cup. so therefore one could argue that you can indeed clean nicotine off walls with the amount of TSP in a cup of cereal. of course the PH would not be the same as if mixing it with water alone

Anyone is welcome to try. I suspect the sticky residue left by the high fructose corn syrup in cereal would be as bad as the nicotine and tar.

All I can tell you is I've used it, and it chewed up my hands well enough that I never forgot it.

i wouldn't doubt it as TSP has a very low PH . i forget the suggested mixture but a solute is mostly water. there are also warning labels on the package maybe i have never mixed it as strong as you have. i could be a bit delusional here but i always thought of my hands being a bit chemical resistant as well.

You might have different skin. I get burns from adhesive bandages now anywhere except my hands.

I had a 1/8" mole removed which was suspicious. The doctor put a 2 x 2" pad with 3/8" x 2" adhesive strips one per edge.

I ended up with two 3/8" x 2" burns and the small spot from the mole removal.
 
To steer (see what I did there?) this thread back onto the topic at hand, I've never used VLR on the wheels so I can't comment on the effectiveness of that. I know I've been through batches and batches of PP and PP2s over the years, and the best trick I've personally used on the wheels was a rag and alcohol. Do this a few times a day for a few days. After that, tape off the metal, and get to it with a can of plasti-dip. Get some good thick layers on it and it holds up (at least in a home environment) and stops the "ooze". I'm curious about using VLR on my next wheels and hopefully save a step or two in there.
