Getting melted (pink) sneaker off my exhaust?

#1 Unread post by jonbailey19808 »

My little daugter kept her foot on my exhaust instead of the footpeg by accident and now i got a nice pink mess on it.

Before i attempt to try and get it off or at least make it look better any suggestions?

Its a chrome pipe and all i can think off it goo gone.

I've used a product called Autosol that comes in a tube similar to toothpaste with good success. WD-40 and a soft brush might also be an option.

My son has done the same thing to mine, only it wasn't pink. The way I got it off was to take the bike on a quick ride to heat up the exhaust. Then it's a matter of goo gone and a lot of rubbing to get it to come off. Goo gone works but it takes a while. I've never tried Autosol that High Side recommended it may be better option.

I use Turtle Wax chrome polish on cold pipes, it works well for me.

I´d try deep-freezing the plastic goo first (with one of those cooling sprays, like Freon before it was banned) and then chipping it off with a bit of hard wood. Might save you a few hours of work.

Or turn your whole bike into a ratbike, you´ll never need to clean it again or worry about scratches and dents. :twisted:
