Jif and a soft-fiber cloth :niceone:

And before anyone goes having a laugh about a woman suggesting kitchen cleaning products - it was a Male KBer who taught me that one!

Ya lazy bugger lol. Tried the Jif. It got rid of a small amount but didn't shift the really baked on stuff. Can't find my autosol so will have to fork out for some. Mothers chrome polish doesn't remove it. Oven cleaner could be the go.

Autosol should work ;)

I have in the past used a steelo pad to take off rust on chrome...

Damn, how annoying, my boots heels youst to melt onto the chrome pipes of a bike i owned. I remember it being very stubborn to remove and it seemed autosolve was okay with a good bit of elbow grease.
Your pipes are blue will jiff or autosolve ruin the anodising?!!
I found CRC good for tar, might work.

Ah, but melted plastic is not tar. This stuf gets rid of hot melt glue from hair mate, very good stuff.

It is actually called De-Solve-It. I just checked my bottle. I bought it at Mitre 10.

Autosol and elbow grease is good, but too much rubbing may take the chrome off too

Bees wax and a hot air gun will also work.

Heat the exaust with the hot air gun hot enough for the bees wax to melt quickly, rub the bees wax over the melted plastic then gently scrape the plastic off with a Brass scraper or Brass goldilocks.

Drawback with this method is your bike will smell like Honey afterwards.
