Removing stuff baked on heat shields?
#31
I'm the OP. So, I already had WD40, and bought some 0000 steel wool. Started with cold pipes, Soaked the steel wool with the WD40 and gently rubbed the baked on oil on the heat shields. It all came off almost instantly! Tried the same technique on the year old boot burns, to no success. So, used a lot more scrubbing pressure, and a lot came off. Then soaked a rag with WD40, and wrapped it around the blemish. Timed the soak by the time it took to open & enjoy 1 beer, then rubbed moderately briskly with the 0000 steel wool soaked in WD40. Success!!! No abrasion on the heat shields' chrome at all, in fact they shine like brand new. Note: larger or more persistent boot marks may require soak time of two or more beers. So, anyone want a can of MOCo boot heel remover.? No Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! Jeff
