so i throw a couple cans of coke-a-cola in the trunk of the gixxer. pull into the shed at home, cut the engine & straight away i get the smell like toffee is burning.. arrgh you guessed it, one of the cans has sprung a leak and has escaped all over the rear end, i look down at my pipe & wtf??! the coke has burnt away leaving a residue of hard burnt toffee 8-( ...what a twit...

Yerg, that's gonna take some effort to remove, their's literally about 1/2cup of sugar in a can of coke, so it's probably caramalised and gone solid by now...

Hmmm, just the excuse you wanted for a new rear end

You need a couple of 2 year olds to come over and lick it...

make sure the cans are cool of course, but they're not going to know it's dirty or wrong...

... no hang on... that's a BAD idea!

Good luck dude... serious suggestion - get a thick flannel... drape it over the sticky patch then pour boiling hot water onto it. The flannel will (hopefully) hold the water ont the toffee long enough to soften/dissolve it a bit.

Do that a couple of times and it'll surely start to move.

Hope there's not perm damage to the cans...

1/2 a cup IF your cup is quite small...It's actually 30 grams, or about 3 tablespoons.
