I'm melting, and I ain't a witch....

Hey gang got some rain last week and had to don my rain pants on my commute, inadvertently while relaxing on my bike in the ferry line I rubbed a leg against the pipe and melted some of it (rain pants) to the chrome. I thought it would be an easy clean, not so, I tried to remove it while hot, and while cold, nada, you guys got any ideas? THANXS!

Got it off with oven cleaner, a plastic scraper, and some patience. Use the oven cleaner on cold pipes and watch the over spray. It took several applications and letting it sit for a few hours. Good hunting

Reply #3 - 09/24/12 at 05:02:07 I had both melted rubber and plastic on my exhaust. Mine was well cooked because it had been on there for a year and it came off easily with aluminum foil and water. It had become brittle with time and broke free with little effort.

Reply #6 - 09/24/12 at 09:18:02 Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner - Get an old scrap of terry cloth towel. Get exhaust REALLY hot (at least a 5 mile ride). Stop, put goop on towel, scrub the exhaust. Repeat as needed. Has always worked for me.
