try never dull worked for me-ride safe

 

I had a plastic shopping bag melt to my heat shield, I used Goo Gone and my fingernail, to get it off.

 

I have always used either paint thinner or lighter fluid on a rag on a hot pipe. Worked with hardly any elbow grease. Tried the 0000 wool, and you could see the scratches

 

I had that happen on my heritage with the Fatcat pipe.

I used oven cleaner on cool pipes and let it set about 10 minutes, wiped off with a terry towel, I repeated about 3 times and it came off.

someone else mentioned that acetone (or acetone based finger nail polish remover) will melt plastic nylon (makes sense since it melts super glue), but I haven't tried it...not even sure if burnt nylon is still nylon anymore...

good luck...good thing is...worst case youscratch the **** out it and replace the shield

 

Take a table knife and wrap one layer of a thin washcloth over the blade end. Then use that to remove the larger melted pieces. The washcloth protects the finish of the chrome, but the knife underneath still presents a rigid-enough structure that you can scrape much of it away.

Once the bigger pieces are gone, use Simichrome polish to slowly work off the remaining surface blemishes off the chrome. It's a slow, tedious process so don't start it thinking it's going to be over quickly. A cold brew or two and plenty of patience.

 

That does look like $hit. Warm the pipes and use oven cleaner....brush it on and 0000 steel wool...may take a few applications, then try some Xylene to shine it.

 

Chrome cleaner and a NEW single edge razor use many it works use liberal amounts of both....

 

S-100 Chrome polish does the trick on mine. I had a plastic bag get stuck all over mine and it came off fairly easy.

 

I got it all removed today. Can't even tell it happened. I used a razor blade and gently scraped it off. Then used never dull to polish it out. Thanks everyone for the tips.

 

OK>>>OK!!!!
I know I'm late, but once again,,, heres my tip,, NO scratches......
Heat put it there,,, so let HEAT TAKE IT OFF!!! I use one of the bottled propane torches,
like ya use for soldering,,, heat the rubber,plastic, nylon up .wipe with cotton cloth,, about twice, then carb cleaner,, done in about 4 min's!!!!!!
