Well, I finally got around to cleaning all my clad from my many months of parking meter hunting... it's about $60 worth (would've been about $70, but I kinda robbed the kitty for dip money a couple of times!)
I had the idea of using muriatic acid, which is normally used to clean concrete before putting down flooring, etc.... well, it worked!
Only took about 30 mins.... just made a 50/50 solution of acid to water and let them cook in a 5 gal. bucket...
The clad has a sortof pinkish/copper tone, but really, who cares? As long as they go thru the Coinstar I don't care!
Here are a couple of pictures, one of a quarter to sortof show the finished state...
