Default Cheap Rain Gear Melted ?

Asking for a Friend ,,Here is the question sent to Me...

George, I got caught in the rain yesterday and my rain suit melted on my pipes. I tried wax to get it off and no luck. Do you know how to remove it?

Scrape it off with a penny, will not mess up your chrome, then polish.

You can scrape it with a nickel. Guy who ran a bikini bike wash in Daytona showed me that.

Acetone - nail polish remover containing acetone, use a shop rag. Gets melted boot crap off easily so it should be effective for this case too.
I use leg gaiters in the rain to protect my rain suit. Nomex are the best at about $80. Right now I'm using Swiss Army gaiters made of wool. You could go old school canvas or make some out of old denim pants legs. Suiting up for the rain Monday for the ride to Americade.
