Plastic melted onto Exhaust?

If it was mine then I'd use a hot air gun to re melt the plastic, possibly wipe it with a partly oil soaked rag (cotton) till it's removed then Finish off with traditional ammonia base T cut.

 

I had a similar experience yesterday.. but mine was caused by cat jumping into garage, landing on exercise ball and exercise ball falling onto hot exhaust! Will try your suggestions Tigcraft but any more ideas will be gratefully received too

 

Hi all!
Done exactly the same thing a while ago....put on the cover before the exhaust had cooled down sufficiently and was extremely annoyed with myself that I've done that!!!!
I've managed to get rid of it by warming up the exhaust again for about 10 seconds, NO LONGER, which was enough to soften up the mess in order to scrape and wipe it off.
But the Acetone trick is a good one!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!:upyeah:

 

Thanks for the great advice folks... used the hot air gun and oily rag option plus some elbow grease and this is the result! Very happy again.

 

Looking good!!!!!! Well done!!!!!:upyeah:

 

humph - not the first bit of advice I wanted to look for as a newbie here- but glad to know i'm not alone !

 

My way is to sharpen up a wood chisel so it's absolutely lethal, then gently scrape off the cold plastic. Finish with a good polish. Sounds scary using a chisel I know but it's really not.

 

used acetone ( I own plenty of the stuff ) and elbow grease with a bit of scraping with my fingernail and small piece of flat wood- seemed to do the trick

 

Harpic Extra Strength. Brush it on, watch the plastic bubble, wipe it off.

 

yes, works on pipes

 

Duct tape is your friend.
