What do you use to clean pipes? - slaytanic - 04-23-2007

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?

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

Yeah it's my Czech body. Caught it before it did much damage.

Antifreeze huh? Never heard that one. Might try it!

or take some fine grit sand paper and sand it off, doesnt ruin the hard coated finish

i had a similar problem, now what i do is i spread a thin layer of the high temp silicone on the part of the body that will be nearest to the pipe. no problems since i started doing that.
