Help ! I've just ruined my bike

[Scrounger]

I wear tall boots with the cuff of my pants-leg tucked down in them.:s

Not a good solution in the rain, all the water heads to the boot.

Before you try harsh chemicals, try warming the pipes then buff the affected area with a rag soaked with motor oil.

I had great luck with this method, and never had scratches or worried about damaging the paint with oven cleaner over-spray!

You guys done good !

Tried the non-invasive stuff first , & moved along the line till the oven cleaner stuff , which has worked a dream .

Back to crusin with the gleaming pipes (& some new non-meltable trousers)

Me & my bike are more grateful than you will ever know

Isn't it nice to have freinds you can count for good advice when yu need it. Glad you got it cleaned up.

once the majority of it is off using one of the tactics above you may want to use Blue Job to get the residue and stain off, good luck.
