Moderator drewpy Posted October 14, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2012 My coat touch the hot downpipe at Squires and it's still there. tried solvent, wd40 and polish and the bugger won't budge. doing a quick google got me recommendations for soaking in brake fluid, fine wire wool and solvol to scraping with wood/ Its really hard stuff. any one have more ideas?

Moderator Airhead Posted October 14, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2012 scrape it off then solvol, use a wood chisel and keep the blade flat to the exhaust and it wont dig in and scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted October 14, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2012 Soften the plastic by getting the exhaust hot. Wood block (not ply) and solvol should do it. any one have more ideas? Oh yeh............................. keep plastics away from hot exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neversaydie Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Had burnt plastic on the dragstar exhaust. Soaked a cloth in Cillit Bang and wrapped it around the pipe, left it to soak for a couple hours, then just scraped off with a piece of hardwood (mahogany/maple etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
