I never tried this on my ST pipes but on a previous bike with chrome pipes I had good results by heating up the pipes a bit and then repeatedly using chrome cleaner and polish comes in. After a 1000 mile trip I had plastic from one of the luggage straps that had melted onto the anodized muffler FMF Q4 on my bike. It takes a long time to burn away.

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this material from the heat shield without scratching. I had a heavy pair of wood stove gloves and used a Bernz O Matic. A plastic bag must of caught my motorbike while riding today and melted on the exhaust a good 12 long section of pipe.

It took a lot of elbow grease. Some plastic from my bike cover melted onto my exhaust and I want to try and get it off. The plastic type sweat pants I was wearing melted on the pipes didnt even notice till a few weeks later.
