    Before I start using cleaners/solvents on my chrome mufflers has anybody ever had to remove some marks off boot soles that must have got to hot from a pillion? I can't be the only 1 this has happened to and maybe some one can put me in the right direction? Any info greatly appreciated. Thought I'd ask before I have a crack.

    Paulybronco, Really? Tried Turps, Polish, etc etc etc etc. Nothing touches this! Are you taking the piss or is warming the mufflers really going to help? Loved the kids coming for a ride but "oh man".

    Aerosol oven cleaner works. Spray and leave overnight. Clean off with a soft scot towel so it dont scratch. You might need a couple of goes if it's a big section.

    Haven't tried yet Paulybronco, Dam work gets in the way. But I did have some oven cleaner and to my absolute surprise 1/3 of the mark just came off after leaving overnight. Repeating process and whats left over, if any, will be removed with your method. V Happy. On an equally important note Carlton Dry and Millers Draught would have to be the beers to beat! Have the occasional xxxx when I catch up with family in Warwick QLD [ Lord, Can they put it down ] but it doesn't rock my boat.

    Thanks for the tips everyone. Had to try a few things as mentioned above and then some. Paulybronco, you're a Champ! Heating up the exhaust for 5 minutes then removing what was left with an ice cream stick........Too easy. Anyone else who may have this problem this is the PERFECT way to remove melted boot soles from your exhaust....Helpful tips on this site for sure. Bit of a polish up tomorrow and like new. Thanks again Mate.

    Crushed up alfoil and copius water / wd40. Rub slowly with plenty moisture. It may take time but marks will come off.
