Hydroflouric acid is also used as wheel cleaner in car washes.

Car wash owners and operators know that hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a chemical that poses health risks, but many still use it, especially to clean wheels. It’s extremely dangerous, since it doesn’t cause immediate skin burns that you can feel as other acids do. Instead, HF seeps through tissue, eats into bones, and turns calcium into calcium fluoride, taking hours before the burn victim realizes the damage.

Damn, now I'm wondering what that acid I used for cleaning wheels was when I worked at a car wash. It worked great and eventually when we switched to something else it didn't work nearly as well, so it was strong. Oh well, I haven't noticed my bones turning into calcium fluoride, I'm probably good.

Let us know when you finally notice. It might be funny from a scientific perspective.
