jerben Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 A plastic grocery bag hit my chrome pipes while they were hot and it melted on there. Any advice on what can get it off? I tried regular turtle wax and then wd-40 with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Gas will dissolve plastic bags, but don't try it while the pipes are hot unless you wanna look like ghost rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerben Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Will it harm my chrome though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 You may end up with a permanent stain. When its cool, try Goo-Gone, Kerosine, or Gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I've been racking my brain on this because I seen something a while back that is specifically for getting boot marks etc off an exhaust pipe.I just can't remember where I read it.

jerben Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 well, the gasoline mostly worked. Still somewhat on there. I then tried wheel cleaner, which helped a little more. Will keep working on it. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Did you use Turtle Wax Chrome Polish? That stuff got rust off the chrome bumpers on my 64 Buick Special. It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
