I need some help, two days ago I was riding my bike home and I brushed my pants leg against the pipes and I got some of the fabric stuck to the pipes. I can not get it off with normal cleaning. I need help in getting it off. I have heard to use everyting from oven cleaner to 0004 steel wool. Hoping someone out there has found a way to clean pipes without scratching them.

 

What were you wearing - plastic pants? lol

Have you tried getting the pipes hot again and then try to clean it off (very carefully)?

 

4-OOOO steel wool,with mothers chrome polish on the steel wool. takes some work and time. Many report good results with oven cleaner. caution with it.

I used never dull for melted boot it takes a little time to do it but it works

 

NeverDull here, use it on all my chrome..works good, but like Ratt said, it does take a little effort.

 

Thanks for the help. No not plastic pants, but I am a sports official, and I have to wear blue pants made from Rayon and other man-made fabrics and it melts real easy. Normally I wear jeans.

 

I use stuff called "GOO OFF" and it is found at any hardware store.
No need to even get the pipes hot. Just put it on a rag and wipe it off.
Alsosomeone told me once you could also use nail polish remover.

Goof off. Use in a well ventilated area...
