Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get melted boot rubber off the exhaust pipes. I have to chrome conti style pipes and for some reason my left heel rubs on the pipe where it meets the header. :(
get it hot and while it is hot...take a scotch-brite pad to it and get it off....

weeee.... I know where my tax rebate check is go'n
I'm going to try the petroleum solvent method when I get home tonight. Since the chrome is in perfect condition I would hesitate using an abrasive. As hard as chrome is, it still likes to scratch.

i use fine steel wool pads on chrome all the time and makes it shine up nice
i would get em hot and try ultra fine steel wool.
Easy Off oven cleaner
can you use easy off to brighten up the pipes?

hmmmmmm....don't really know the answer to that one
no you can't. use a brillo pad with soap and lightly rub the pipe but the same color/look will return. work it slowly with lots of water but again it's not worth the time since they will turn again.
Yet another vote for oven cleaner. [thumbsup]
