i smelled plastic burning smell coming from the car. so i pulled over and checked and found that i had ran over this big plastic bag. it was under my car where the piping is. and the plastic bag melted due to hot pipes. i got the plastic out but the burnt plastic (gunk) is still there and i can't remove it. is this ok if i leave it like that? and how can i remove it? everytime i drive now, i smell plastic burning.

 

Wait until it dries and hardens and scrape it off. Or you could scrape it off while it's hot and gooey.

 

i tried to scrape it off, but it's too hard. and i don't want to use a flathead screw driver or anything like that to hurt my G. are there any liquid solution that will work to remove it?

 

Every time that happened to me, I had to wait for it to burn off by itself... Took about a month

 

If you can get ahold of acetone, apply that to the plastic and it will melt.

 

thanks p diddy. i'll try that.

 

I'd say just leave it. What happens if some dogsh*t splashes up on the exhaust? Are you going to scrap that off too? I smells worse when it burns than plastic does.

 

won't harm anything. just let it burn off on it's own.

 

ok. i won't worry about it then. thanks for your replies guys.

 

Where do you live...a third world country?? Where I come from, we don't see too much sh*t in the streets...
