I used a 3M pad to scrub the remainder of the nasty melted car cover stain on the sidepipes off. Looks like brand new again.
Oh wait, mine are painted with Very High Temperature paint, thats easy to clean up.
Hmmm, not sure what to do with the ceramic coated stuff...
Not being mean, just pointing out that sometimes VHT paint has it's advantages over a permanent coating. Might help folks make a decision on which is best for them.
