It will remove pigeon feces
No, sulfuric only
The acid in the pop could eat the paint if it is not wiped off soon.
It won't run properly, you'll have to drain the oil all out.
Pour a solution of water mixed with baking soda on the battery, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then wash it off with plain water. The baking soda will neutralize the acid.
Poisonous is not how I would define an acid. First of all, it depends on how strong is the acid we are considering. Every acid is corrosive (and so are bases) but if the acid is only slightly strong, like lemon juice, vinegar or even coke, you can drink or eat with no significant damage. Stronger acids such as muriatic acid used to clean or sulphuric acid, the one used in car batteries, are capable of burning your mouth (and even you skin) and your esophagus, resulting in fatal bleeding.
i used to work in a radiator shop back in the day and we put a radiator on a rotating machine and put muric acid in it and let it rotate for some time, then flushed it out and the radiator was totally clean, no more rodding. they were copper then. not sure about todays alum radiators
Car battery acid consists of Hydrochloric acid and Sulphuric acid.
YES!!!!!!! It has to be diluted with water or it will eat away at the surface. I know from personal experience. This is very strong and corrosive. and should never be used full strength unless you are trained in using. Muriatic acid is an impure form of hydrochloric acid. It is extremely corrosive and it is advised that you use a face shield, and use in a ventilated area only. The fumes are very corrosive and can cause irreparable lung damage. Improper use can release chlorine gas, a gas used in WW I by the Germans. If the purpose is to clean brick, or etch concrete it can be diluted, and should be. The recommended concentration to clean brick is at least 10 parts water to 1 part acid. If the acid releases a very strong fume on opening use 15 to 20 parts water. It also reacts with various metals to form an explosive mixture with air.
'For my car'.
Off!!
It is pretty tough on metals, but your car naturally creates sulfuric acid and it mixes with oil all of the time. If your looking for a "bomb" answer...not gonna happen.
