Cleaning Advice needed, textiles melted on exhaust. - SV650.org

As per the subject, I could use some advice on how to remove this from my exhaust

I stretched my legs out and melted my textile trousers on the exhaust pipe. I've had a go at it today and got most of it off apart from two blobs that I just cannot shift.

I read a tip in MCN about using paint brush cleaner to get it off, anybody else got any suggestions.

I have tried to polish it off with autosol and a Scotchpad scourer thingy but I cant shift the last bit.

Cheers

Keep scrubbing

i used Autosol and a toothbrush and it eventually came off mine . it will also just burn off though may smell for a little while.

Keep scrubbing, I melted my textiles onto the exhaust pipes of my 125. Had to scrape the stuff off and then polish the scrape out.

i melted the back of my boot in the same place, autosol does shift it eventually.
