  1. Can anyone suggest something that will take these marks of a titanium Akra exhaust not sure what it is possibly burnt in oil these marks were on it when I bought it so not sure how long they r there?

  2. ...take care with that, it will stain/damage some finishes! ;-)
     
  3. I had read oven cleaner but surely that’s bit harsh?
     
  4. I'd defo steer clear of that!!!!!
     
  5. 10 percent isn't exactly a tiny amount. It will take the stains off alright. Probably the finish as well. Titanium isn't particularly resistant to hydrochloric acid.
     
  6. Have tried WD40 its on quite thick you can feel the lumps when you run your finger over it don’t really wanna use Scottish rite or something that will make it look worse ‍♂️

  7. If wd didn’t work my next go to would be chain cleaner then brake cleaner
     
  8. Try a tar removing spray - roofers use it.
    Or try hot water to soften the marks then a non abrasive wipe
     
  9. That looks like melted plastic to me.

  10. You could be right it does have a “texture” to it
     
  11. Try GT85

  12. Have you tried getting good and hot and carefully scraping with a sharp-edged wooden spatula? one of those disposable cutlery sets or a lolly stick would serve well.

  14. Success! After trying everything I had in the garage I finally wrapped a cloth soaked in oven cleaner round it for 10mins then a quick wipe with this pink stuff my wife had under the sink at it came right off Thanks for all the replies much appreciated
