Removing burned plastic from Ex Header..?? (Read 77 times)

Rustbucket Full Member Offline Posts: 112 Gender:	Removing burned plastic from Ex Header..?? 10/01/08 at 15:41:03 oops... I hung my helmet from the front brake lever and didn't notice the strap dangling and melted against the hot header pipe. Anyone know a way to remove it without scuffing up the chrome? It's burned on pretty bad

I checked out oven cleaner in the store but the can said do not use on chrome

Hi, try the product Blu Job from the stealership. I dropped a plastic grocery bag one day and it melted all over my pipe. I was mortified. I had bought some of that powder to take off some of the blue on the exhaust pipe and I tried it on the plastic bag. Some of it just peeled away once it was cooled down, and some of it came away by scrubbing with the powder. It all came off and I breathed a great sigh of relief. Shocked

Ride safe,
Amy
