Default RE: Melted a Micro Fibre

I went with some previous advice from others on here and used wadded up tin foil. It worked very well. At first I thought it had caused a dull spot in the chrome on my brand new bub 7 heat shield. But I figured since it couldn't get any worse I'd hit it with some micro polish. Turned out that the dull spot was actually something left behind by the aluminum foil and all was well. Not a scratch or anything else left behind. Just that new chrome lustre!

Just be sure to clean anything off prior that could cause scratches while you're trying to rub away the offending gunk!
