    Baked on oil on exhaust pipe, how to remove it?

    Had an oil leak on one of my bikes and now there's a bit of baked on oil.
    I've tried several products which are OK just wondering if someone's found a magical substance that makes it go away real easy...

    vinegar / baking soda for a stainless steel exhaust
    brush on and soak for a lil bit then use scotch brite to buff off

    S100 Polishing Soap - damn impressive stuff!

    (Dunno about REAL easy, but it requires a lot less effort than normal metal polishes for the same result)

    WD40 can work (and you are bound to have some), desolvit or automotive paint work tar remover?

    Patience is not a virtue I possess either

    Peppermint essential oil or undiluted eucalyptus. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Apparently works a treat. And your bike will smell minty fresh

    S100 beats Solvol hands down on an effort vs results basis.... not that Solvol isn't good.
