1) Whats the best product to remove boot rubber from exhaust (apart from not doing it again!)?
2) Best product to make your exhaust look all pretty and streak free?

Tried Anulsol on the rubber bit with no luck
Had it before, but was a tiny spot so was able to 'finger nail' it off, not this time
Thanks thou.

try taking off with a small amount of petrol/paraffin on cloth (remember to wash off with water b4 running bike up- for obvious reasons).

Get the exhaust warm/hot then use a plastic scraper. Most should come off then when the exhaust is cool enough to touch with a bare hand, use a little solvent to remove whats left.

If it is chrome or stainless steel you can give it a polish up using
"Blackfires" Metal polish .
It takes a bit of work but it is far more effectve than the Auto-sol stuff.

I'm with you on that one! Scratching it off with a fingernail - ouch.
