Re: [T3] Quick! What neutralizes battery acid?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>POR-15 does have a neutralizing agent in it.  But be sure to buy the cleaner
(its a degreaser and neutralizer), then the metal prep, then the POR-15
treatment.

Be sure to clean out all the pits with a wire brush, too before you start!
You'll be okay.
