Exhaust Cleaner

Post by Lobsterfish »

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?

Cheers

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.
