What do you use to clean pipes? - 04-23-2007, 09:27 AM

Need some help guys. I've got some melted lexan from my body onto my pipe. I've ordered some heatsheild tape. Can anyone recommend a way to get that crap off the pipe without ruining the anodized finish? It's a JP-3. Thanks!!

Get it hot again and wipe it off?

Are you sure it's not melted paint? Is that from your Czech body? He uses enamel paint to seal the insides, maybe it transfered onto the pipe?


got paint?

Heat up some anti freeze for the cars and cleans right off.
