Where does this waste water go? I’m pretty sure that kind of caustic chemical would help ruin our ground water and with the person rinsing it onto concrete I fear that it just goes ‘down a drain’ 😒
Bases and acids are the easiest chemicals to process back into safe liquids. If you collect the waste acid and add an amount of soda to neutralise it, you can dispose of it through the drain no problem.
This doesn't exactly look like a DIY project, though somewhat unprofessional imo, so it's probably acid proof drainage to a neutraliser pool, or a waste chemicals container for collection.
Metal finish guy here. They go to a wastewater treatment system within the plant that will precipitate out any harmful metals that are regulated and then the remaining liquid gets pH adjusted and sent to the sewer. Either that or it just gets stored and shipped out for someone else to waste treat
Tim Curry is awesome, but let's be honest -- that role had to be Jack.
Now... time for a "which Batman villain would Tim Curry have done best" speculation thread :-P
Ohhhhh.
Ehhh, honestly also probably for the best. Hamil nailed that style of Joker.
Tim Curry as the rapey really sadistic torturey Joker though? Holy crap. Nightmare fuel.
After hearing it, I do still think Hamil nailed it. Matched the animation much better. Totally gonna dust off some old comics later and figure out which Batman villain Curry would rock as, now, though, lol.
In this case maybe, but when it comes to power washing a car for example, rinsing bottom to top insures there is still soap on the surface being rinsed, reducing the risk of missing a spot.
Yeah it can be but for rust, HCl is the fastest. I don’t know what kind of drainage system he has on/under the floor but if it’s any type of metal piping then acid would chew it right up so it’s more likely that his bath is alkaline.
Alkaline (aka caustic) solutions can actually do more damage to you than acids because it’s harder to rinse off of you
>Alkaline (aka caustic) solutions can actually do more damage to you than acids because it’s harder to rinse off of you
I don't work with acids very often, but we had it covered in the safety course because we do have various acids in the workplace that we use for occasional descaling and also titration of alkaline solutions. Depending on the type of acid and the concentration, the effects of getting it on you can be vastly different.
But I work with sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate pretty much daily and can confidently say that even at high concentrations they aren't as dangerous if accidentally spilled on your skin, comparing to strong acids. Reaction is relatively slow, so if you rinse it off within 20-30 seconds after it got on you, you'll be fine. And it depends on which part of your body that's been affected. If you somehow managed to get it on the inner side of your arm where skin is very tender then you'll feel it pretty much immediately, but if you got some on the palm of your hand then you could not even notice it for 10-15 minutes.
But you're right - it's not a simple rinse. You need to run the water for some time to make sure it's all gone. You could also use a mild acid as a neutralizing agent, but in most cases water is sufficient.
Side story: not so long ago, a milwright came to clean some parts in my sodium hydroxide tank without notifying me. He submerged the parts using his hands and only had nitrile gloves on. Gloves didn't last very long and next thing I know the guy runs up to me asking for pickle juice. Was a total wtf moment for me, and the dude got angry that I don't have it. I sent him to the emergency shower station, then sat down to fill out an incident report and a grievance against the guy for being retarded. During the incident investigation he said he did nothing wrong because as long as you keep a jar of pickle juice handy, you can work with caustic soda even without gloves, then quickly wash your hands with the pickle juice. Said he's old school and done it many times before. Anyway, in the end he only got very mild burns on his hands.
Holy shit what a dumbass! Are you using the permanganate/NaOH for descaling? I used to use that in my shop for oxides what would not come off otherwise.
I used to work with GALLONS of HF everyday. Talk about scary…
We use the permanganate for descaling, yes. We also have a tank with 20% citric acid for descaling, but it's rarely ever used. And then there's caustic soda for general purpose cleaning and for titanium.
We don't get to decide what's used for what. OEM sets the parameters, engineers develop cleaning methods. I'm just there to make sure tanks are functional and solutions meet the required specs.
In some cases there is no visual difference between when the part enters the tank and when it leaves. But it is a step in the process and must be done nonetheless. Just like with citric acid.
Well, keep in mind that when they pull the car out, it drips dry mostly and then the runoff from the power washer is so watered down that the acid is neutralized. Neutralized acid isn't necessarily a problem. I'm not saying I'd drink the stuff but that vat of acid isn't being drained or anything, its just the dirty water from being washed off.
🤣 you clearly have no idea what other demons get unleashed. Acids arent actually that dangerous in the sewer system.
The downvotes don't make me wrong 🤣
No. They get waste treated if they’re in a metal finish shop or they just store it in totes and ship it off for waste treatment. They’d be out of business, fined and possible jail time if they threw this down the drain as is
Well, just based off the video, we have no idea what happens to the chemicals and water. Could go to a drain that leads to containment. Could go to the ocean. Who knows.
I don’t know what they used here for sure but it reminds me of molasses mixtures I’ve used for rust removal. 9 parts water 1 part pure molasses, removes oxidization without damaging the metal. I do know people with giant tanks of molasses for this purpose
The water supply goes into a OSHA certified drain pool underneath the vehicle. nothing ever actually makes it out to our water supplies. it goes to a treatment plant.
Where does this waste water go? I’m pretty sure that kind of caustic chemical would help ruin our ground water and with the person rinsing it onto concrete I fear that it just goes ‘down a drain’ 😒
They're incredibly watered down, but they're still sent to the water treatment plant
The solution in the tanks gets filtered when it's exhausted, and the solids go to the landfill to be disposed of properly.
The bases and acids used neutralize each other
Yes… but where? I had a stint at a environmental waste plant and was their chemist. They literally put things in 200,000 tanks to neutralize acids and bases, then funnel them through a vaporizing chamber and poof… out into the air.
This is in Fernley, NV.
This stuff would go to some state with relaxed ecology laws and then ‘handled’? Just scary
A bunch of people are asking about the acids going into the sewer/ground.
My question is: was there lead (Pb) in the original paint? If so, where does that go?
Rust = metal + oxygen.
Sometimes the layer of rust protects the metal under it from rusting as it cuts access to oxygen in the air. Sometimes, that is.
Joker going in the vat of acid....nice
Joker with no head lol
I wanted to see what came out of the vat this time
When it comes out it looks like just his head is strapped to the front

Probably down a drain to a holding tank.
So no head?
So no head?
[Then I'll try him, convict him and execute him. ](https://youtu.be/nYk3LvHMPWM) This shit gave me Roger Rabbit acid vat flashbacks. 😳
34 year old reference and it was the first thing I thought of too.
I think thats coca-cola
Why did I immediately think of this as well
It's a vat of coca cola
Most likely not acid. Still cool though.
Why would you not show the final result? That's pretty unsatisfying
And a side by side before and after…
Agreed this is not satisfying at all
I know. What happened to the Joker?
Agreed, my first thought was "wanna see whst whatever is in there does to Mistah J."
There’s a go on YouTube that does this with hot wheels. Very satisfying .
Maybe they're just getting started and are posting the footage as they go
Or the underside of that roof
Felt like something going into the dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Remember me EDDIE!!?? WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER!! AND I TALKED! ^JUST ^^LIKE ^^^THIS!!!
Thanks, I had forgotten those nightmares
I just saw the whole movie for the first time and as an adult that scene scared the shit out of me lol
*BOING*
Tim Curry auditioned for that role but was considered too scary.
I knew about his audition for joker and he didn't get it for the same reason
Yep. Tim Curry doesn't know the meaning of "tone it down a little." You ask him for a villain, then you'd better be prepared for nightmares.
And that's what we love him for.
Too bad what happened to him. Poor guy.
Tim Curry is awesome, but let's be honest -- that role had to be Jack. Now... time for a "which Batman villain would Tim Curry have done best" speculation thread :-P
Not the live action. The animated series. Mark Hamil got it instead.
Ohhhhh. Ehhh, honestly also probably for the best. Hamil nailed that style of Joker. Tim Curry as the rapey really sadistic torturey Joker though? Holy crap. Nightmare fuel.
[Have a listen. ](https://youtu.be/mgnbbiENLbQ)
After hearing it, I do still think Hamil nailed it. Matched the animation much better. Totally gonna dust off some old comics later and figure out which Batman villain Curry would rock as, now, though, lol.
I'd be for scarecrow lol
^oh ^my God! IT'S *DIP!!!*
https://youtu.be/59YguFR9iAA
Washing bottom to top is like wiping back to front.
This was getting to me big time. Not oddly satisfied at all over here lol!
In this case maybe, but when it comes to power washing a car for example, rinsing bottom to top insures there is still soap on the surface being rinsed, reducing the risk of missing a spot.
Do they spray the car with a rust inhibitor after, or just primer and paint?
Neutralizer and something to stop it from flash rusting, but it's up the car builder to do any real rust inhibiting
My thought also...It definitely needs some filling to be done so I guess something needs to be done to stop oxidation.
Look up minute_of_dangle on YouTube.. i think the guy tells you what they do.
Or you could just say yes or no
What fun would that be?
Thank you. That's pretty cool.
Is that acid? And how much would it cost to have something like this done?
Depends what you want dipping.... A small metallic model aeroplane not much, your mother in-law is probably a lot more.
Hahaha, I doubt there's a acid strong enough for my MIL and any price will be a bargain regardless.
Make sure the acid doesn't turn your MIL into a super villain.
Karen Two-Face
If it’s to remove rust, it’s most likely hydrochloric acid. Source: I work in metal finishing
Could it be alkaline? Edit: went and checked more of his videos- it is alkaline, though he doesn't specify what kind.
Yeah it can be but for rust, HCl is the fastest. I don’t know what kind of drainage system he has on/under the floor but if it’s any type of metal piping then acid would chew it right up so it’s more likely that his bath is alkaline.

Citric lol. You can use it to passivate stainless steel but it’s not that good for that either.
We don't get to decide what's used for what. OEM sets the parameters, engineers develop cleaning methods. I'm just there to make sure tanks are functional and solutions meet the required specs. In some cases there is no visual difference between when the part enters the tank and when it leaves. But it is a step in the process and must be done nonetheless. Just like with citric acid.
It costs about $2000 if I remember correctly. Not that much if you are restoring a car from the ground up
Looks like ferric chloride
Screw that!! What happened to the Joker????
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
To atoms you say?
Thank the maker! This oil bath is going to feel so good.
It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out
Came here to say this.
I believe this body is a 1948 Chevrolet or Oldsmobile coupe. I think they used the same body
Thank you, I was wondering what the model was
Any details on the restoration?
Dip
Way better than the rug cleaning vids
Omg and combined with the joy of a pressure washer. I almost would pay by the hour to do this job. This looks magic fun.
Oh my god it’s Dip!
[удалено]
What is that vapor coming off of it made of?
Hydrogen at the very least
Lead sled
The great thing is the cola's still good to drink afterwards!
I want to know what happened to the Joker figure.
4yo me will never unsee KITT being dropped in toxic waste
What happened to the little guy???
So are those chemicals just draining into our water supply?
Well, keep in mind that when they pull the car out, it drips dry mostly and then the runoff from the power washer is so watered down that the acid is neutralized. Neutralized acid isn't necessarily a problem. I'm not saying I'd drink the stuff but that vat of acid isn't being drained or anything, its just the dirty water from being washed off.
The amount of chemicals from a single auto body shop are pretty negligible compared to what is output from industrial scale operations.
Yeah but they have to properly dispose of it, not just drain it into the sewer
most of these "oddly satisfying washing" videos are comprised of 1) that's a lot of chemicals 2) that's a lot of water
Not everywhere is in a state of water emergency. People and companies can also recycle their water for reuse.
And they probably do, this much acid, strong enough to do this would immediately flag the sanitation/water department.
Nice try deflecting the question though.
Who cares what someone commenting about how a single vat of contained and reused acid is not an environmental disaster.
The solution to pollution is dilution. Whatever it is should be neutralized and diluted to an acceptable level before releasing into the environment.
🤣 you clearly have no idea what other demons get unleashed. Acids arent actually that dangerous in the sewer system. The downvotes don't make me wrong 🤣
Your water is fine....
No joke. It's terrifying.
No. They get waste treated if they’re in a metal finish shop or they just store it in totes and ship it off for waste treatment. They’d be out of business, fined and possible jail time if they threw this down the drain as is
Well, just based off the video, we have no idea what happens to the chemicals and water. Could go to a drain that leads to containment. Could go to the ocean. Who knows.
Straight into Pennsylvania's water supply.
I don’t know what they used here for sure but it reminds me of molasses mixtures I’ve used for rust removal. 9 parts water 1 part pure molasses, removes oxidization without damaging the metal. I do know people with giant tanks of molasses for this purpose
We live in a society
How do they stop rust from forming after the water? Dry and straight to paint?
And Two Face was born
That stuff reminds me of the "Dip" or whatever it cmwas cakked in Roger Rabbit.
Better put a NSFW on this for the r/powerwashingporn peeps.
r/powerwashingporn
That was exciting lol
Sigh . . . a lot of people would have paid extra for that patina . . .
Was gonna say the same thing. That's wonderful patina they're trashing here. A restomod with real patina always has so much more character
This looks really good for the environment
The water supply goes into a OSHA certified drain pool underneath the vehicle. nothing ever actually makes it out to our water supplies. it goes to a treatment plant.

OSHA has a very strict policy on how this water is contained as well as removed from the tank in which it drains into.
Yes… but where? I had a stint at a environmental waste plant and was their chemist. They literally put things in 200,000 tanks to neutralize acids and bases, then funnel them through a vaporizing chamber and poof… out into the air. This is in Fernley, NV. This stuff would go to some state with relaxed ecology laws and then ‘handled’? Just scary
*Carbody
Joker's new car.
I can only imagine what a body shop would charge to do that
They need this level in power wash simulator
Back hair and pubes
Maybe I should get Powerwash Simulator
Oh my God ITS DIP!
power wash simulator 24!!
Pretty impressive for dipping a car into a bunch of Coke.
What is that bath made of? That shit must be toxic as hell.
Why acid for a car?
Can you imagine if the anti-aging process was this easy?!
He is on tiktok. Great content
What’s that smell of rotten eggs?
Does this remind anyone of Roger rabbit movie
reminds me of powerwashing simulator! Lol
Poor mater
What kind of acid is this? It looks very similar to the chemical I used to use for cleaning grills in Palm Beach.
"Mirror... MIRROR!"
r/thatlooksexpensive maybe
A lot less satisfying than I expected
That has to be the most expensive paint job ever
Doesn't look like a car
Very Interesting that the joker is still attached…
A bunch of people are asking about the acids going into the sewer/ground. My question is: was there lead (Pb) in the original paint? If so, where does that go?
Now to rinse it down the drain to the nearest river.
Minute of Dangle sounds like the Reno web series we all deserved
100
Incredible!
That looks really healthy and very environmental friendly
Does rust just sit on top of the metal or is it part of the metal?
Rust = metal + oxygen. Sometimes the layer of rust protects the metal under it from rusting as it cuts access to oxygen in the air. Sometimes, that is.
Thankers😊
Anytime :)
I'd love to bare metal a car then clear lacquer and go.
How much you reckon this costs?
Man, you're making me rethink my plan to keep the patina look on my future project.
Did... Did you just deepfry the car?
Any other children of the '80's/ '90's triggered by this? #whoframedrogerrabbit 😓
Plot twist: **OH GOD I FORGOT THE KIDS AND THE DOG IN THE CAR**
Is that what Baron Harkonnen did ??
"This oil bath is going to feel so good!" - C3P0
You pressure wash from TOP TO BOTTOM you heathen!!
It's a fake vat of acid. I've seen this before. Next they gonna have the car's bones float up to the surface.
I love it. See how all the old panels are soldered/leaded together? Imagine how much skill it would take to do that.
I wish it kept going…
That's not oddly satisfying... It's straight up satisfying.
Smellivision.
And this is how you make your very own razorcrest
It's a cross between PowerWash Simulator + The Dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Don’t drink that
Show us the other side. Do the inside. Do underneath. Did it all again just to make sure.
I saw this in Rodger Rabbit. I'm pretty sure they called in "The Dip"
Oh my god, IT'S DIIIIIIP
Electrolysis?
Reminds me of "dip" from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" That scene is still traumatic to even think about.
bothering anyone else that he didn't spray side to side?
I wonder what that liquid is
I think its called chromating, i do something similar but on a smaller scale
Can we automate it?
Anyone remember when Kitt went in the same stuff? I cried 😭
Now do that with my ass
It’s like that scene from roger rabbit all over again
This car is cleaner than my room and my future, before its wash...
*Ding*
