getting rubber/mesh off muffler?
I got my mesh ridding pants on the muffler, nasty black spot.
How do i get it off? Someoner told me Easy Off oven cleaner. Metal polish won't touch it.
Thanks

Keith,
With the bike COLD, remove as much as you can from the melted material using a thin razor blade, be very careful. To get rid of the rest, just use WHITE poolish, or some SIMICHROME. I've done it more than 5 times with excellent results every time.
PM if you have some questions.
Best regards.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for cars.
Believe it or not, those little white sponges will get almost anything off of chrome. I have melted the bottom of my boots and other things on the pipes and it came right off.

Easy Off worked like a champ when I had to get the remnants of a plastic bag off my pipes. DO NOT let it touch paint. The paint will be gone.
