burnt plastic on cat converter

[marcdelro]

there's a plastic bag that got stuck on my Cat Converter. Took some parts of the plastic out, but it left some on the Cat when it burnt. Whats the best way to take this out? Paint thinner? It still makes that burnt plastic smell every time i drive the car. Really hate it.

Same thing happen to me years ago. This was on a catted invidia downpipe.

Best thing that worked for me was using Brasso with a very fine or 0000 steel wool with some elbow grease pretty much all of it came off. Some areas my be burnt on more then others so try using something non metal to help scrap those pieces off.

Bought both brasso and steel wool from home depot or lowes
