Hello. I accidentally poured some cil weed and feed down a sink.
Where it has contacted the sink (which is metal) it's left some salt
like stains, which I can't remove. Anyone know of a way of removing
these stains, or is it permanent?
Thanks
Tom

Specifically, what product did you pour?
Try a metal polish, automotive rubbing compound, toothpaste, baking
soda, or other mild abrasive to remove the stain but only if you trust that
doing so will no worsen the appearance. A very fine steel wool, not a
scouring pad, may also help.
Try in an inconspicuous area of the metal sink first.
