I was cleaning off a shelf in the garage to put a computer so I could have my Ford manual CD in the garage when I work on the car. Well there was a case of beer and one can fell out and landed on one of my heads on the floor and exploded all over the place. So, beer got all over my heads and everything in the surrounding area. I wiped it all down but should I clean it with a cleaner such as simple green? Will simple green / beer do any harm to the aluminum? How do you recommend I clean my heads now? I bet this is a first lol !!
Thanks in advance,
John

seafom it with a rag. seafoam already is used for cleaning out everything else... might as well use it for cleaning up the beer.

was it bud or what... if we are talking bud, then i dont really care, the same would be with yuengling, killians, or something more valuable

Sh1t ! It wasn't Coors Light, was it?

On a side note, just gently hose down the (cold) engine with some water and simple green.

If it was American beer don't worry about it... it's just water anyway

/me runs away

+1 on the WD40... it'll displace any moisture that may be left over.
