How to remove burnt plastic from metal pipe

Hi,

I ran over a big plastic mattress wrapper with my car, and it got caught by one of the car pipes on the base.

I managed to remove the excess plastic, but the pipe has now a layer of burnt plastic coating which stinks every time the car is running.

Any tips or advice on how to remove this?

Thanks!

Sebastian.

Re: How to remove burnt plastic from metal pipe

We see people run over plastic bags all the time and except for just peeling off what you can, the rest is going to have to burn off.

You have to re burn and scrape the plastic or you can sand it off to remove.
