taffe Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Smart, I did this but only a small mark so did not bother to remove it, but I did fit the Carbon Fiber protector to the header pipe to prevent a bigger mark, dented pipe and wrecked pants. Its listed on the Hell Team web site. Cheers Taff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nitromors paint remover then pressure wash? if that does not work try sand or vapour blast with fine media. I guess his trousers were nylon / polyester both of which are pretty chemical resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmac Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 A fine Scoth-brite pad and WD40 won't damage the surface too much and you should be able to 'blend in' any rub marks up to the weld join to make it less obvious. As taffe says the Carbon guards work well. Paul Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8ncy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Try rubbing the mark with a piece of copper pipe. I've used this method a few times and its always worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpauls Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have had the same problem with melted black nylon or whatever my trials pants are made from, on the exhaust pipe of my Evo. I used a rotary wire brush in my electric drill. It removes all traces of the melted fabric. I tried to buy an exhaust guard, but apparently no one makes one.

stanmet Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I used a blowlamp warmed up just enough to melt the stain then wipe it off quick with clean rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
