I fitted a polished pipe to my raptor a couple of weeks ago (young blood muscle pipe II) and forgot to cut some of the canopy out on my raptor 30 v2. This has resulted in a burnt reside on the pipe front which is rock hard even when the pipe is red hot. Anyone got any ideas on getting this stuff an otherwise lovely looking pipe.

Couple of things come to mind. First try gumout carburetor cleaner. next try scraping it with sharp razor blade, if this gets it off then finish cleaning again with gumout. then get a dremel with a polishing head and some rubbing compound. This should do the trick. Don't use any abrasive as this will scratch the pipe.

Good luck,

Jr.

Thanks cover top i will give it a go. Best regards. syd

Believe it or not, a lot of people clean their pipes by boiling them in antifreeze, they say it does a real nice job, comes out just like new. I wouldn't do it in the house though, it will stink up the house. I've never tried it myself, my pipes stay pretty clean. I pretty much clean them after every flight. I hate it when they get those brown oil stains on them.
