cleaning coolent/washer jugs????
I really don't feel like paying 25 dollars a piece for a new washer/coolent jug
is there any kind of liquid cleaner that will clean our old dirty stained bottles???

I've had decent results with simple green and a toothbrush. I've seen a few painted ones that looked good, although they're not see-through anymore.

I used a little muriatic (hydrochloric) acid solution in one of mine awhile back. Took out all the rust residue and scale, but didn't affect the yellowing caused by age. Cant remember how much I diluted it, but it was pretty weak.
