So to cut a long story short guys a long piece of caution tape got caught on my bike while riding today and has melted onto the pipes, is there anyway to get it off??? Yellow and black tape melted to the pipes isnt very appealing
G'day,
you could try a piece of plastic, like a knife. Apparently there some proprietry tins of gunk etc, but I find a bit of plastic and some polish seems to work the best. Do it slowly.
A member not long ago had his kid melt his rubber sole boot on his pipe and from memory someone suggested rubbing the chrome with tinfoil then polish I think, maybe search through some old threads, someone will jump in and give ya the good oil, speaking of oil eucalyptus oil removes a lot of shit
Ive had the bread bag stick to the toaster before, stayed there for fucken years, never did try and remove it, maybe you could accidently stick the breadbag to the toaster and trial different methods to remove it. Cheaper to get yelled at by the missus or buy a new toaster than replace an exhaust, fuck it blame the toaster on the kids or as usual nobody knows who did it HAHA Maybe get a 5 buck toaster from vinnies perhaps, save all the grief of startin the missus up good luck with it anyway man cheers
Go to any auto store and ask for a tin of Brite Shine or Never Dull. Basically it's a woolen wadding that has eucalyptus in it, and is great for removing stubborn marks etc without scratching the chrome. Eucalyptus is good for breaking down any gum/ rubber or plastic residue, & is pretty handy if you accidentally scrape the heel of your boot on a hot exhaust. Give this type of product a go, & maybe try some autosol afterwards.
Good luck, and beware you might need to use plenty of elbow grease.
Would you believe a paddle pop stick! Warm the bike and the stick rubbed over the plastic sticks like magic, just make sure you are not lactose intolerant......
Thanks for the help guys, i tried Paulys tip with the paddlepop stick since i already had that and it worked a treat, had it scraped off in 10mins and finished it off with harley davidson chrome polish and as good as new
