I am just about to sell me Apexi GT fatcan and I ran into a little problem yesterday. Driving around the resonator, collector part, whatever you call it, picked up an empty plastic ice bag. After smelling burning plastic I pulled off what I could but the part that had touched was all ready stuck and burned. I took of the exhaust pipe today and it really looks black and crappy on the bottom. Any suggestion how to get burned plastic off of stainless steel?

 

freeze it??? oil maybe (petroleum products break down plastic)

 

Do you know what would be the best petroleum product to take off the burned on plastic? I don't want to discolor the stainless steel. MEK or what? Thought about freezing but I don't think that will work. It is really cooked on.

 

Stainless steel is very resilent. Use a strong solvent like paint & epoxy remover. That stuff doesn't even harm regular steel, but it wreaks havoc on plastic (and paint, epoxy, rubber, flesh or anything organic). Do NOT get that on your hands, trim, paint or tires. If you do, rinse with water within 60 seconds and you'll be fine.

 

try acetone

 

B12 Chemtool will work too.
