Removing burnt shoe rubber from Exhaust

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a way to remove melted shoe rubber from the stock mufflers without damaging the factory finish?
Speaking of the finish? is it paint, black chrome or something else?

Thanks
Jeff

Use plenty of elbow grease, a tin of steam and some blue smoke. Follow this up with a long weight.

I've always had good results with Nev-R-Dull. It's a treated fiber wadding in a can. Never noticed any harm to the pipes coating from it.

A tin of steam and a long weight can be found at most plumbing stores,just send the apprentice down for them.Not sure about the blue smoke though ? :lol:

PS looks like the poms do have a sense of humour after all.

I've had good results using "easy off" oven cleaner. It works best if the pipes are hot.

Can you not run the engine untill the pipes are hot and then scrape off the plastic
Ha ! When I was an apprentice one of the mechanics told me to go the hardware shop ( E Hayes & Son ) and get a long weight, about 1/2 way there the penny dropped .... so I went to the cinema for the afternoon. When I got back to work there was all sorts of shit flying but I just pointed out that he wanted a long weight ..... you got one !
