This assumes that you have a fairly thick glob though. 2 - Warmed the pipes up for about 10 minutes. The fineness will protect the chrome from being scraped up but to really help the pipe look good as new or to help clean up the scrapes from previous failed cleaning attempts whoops pick up some chromemetal polish.
As the air expands it gets very cold and tends to freeze up the plastic and make it very brittle. Link to infoproduct on Amazon and MEK methyl ethyl ketone but THF is the best. Then coat the exhaust with your preferred chrome treatment.
You must get medical help immediately in all scenarios. Wait a minute or so. 4 - Add a little elbow grease just a little 5 - Cleanup with wet cloth and a dry towel.
I tried the home remedies using Easy Off oven cleaner while pipes are hot Goof Off when pipes are cold finger nails and I cant seem to get it off. Oven cleaner some times works also. 10 minutes to perform the task.
This isnt hidden away under a car exhaust its a no fairing bike with header pipes clear to see. Follow up with a few light taps with a mallet and most of the plastic just shatters and falls off. When cool use oven cleaner spray.
