Ok, I have the Kaminari rear and the TRD extended exhaust and it keeps hitting my bumper. So one day I pushed it the exhaust with my shoes to move it back into the center and I guess some of the rubber on the bottom of my shoe melted off onto the exhaust, not there's this black stuff I can't get out, I tried all sorts of metal cleaners like Never Dull and Meguires Metal polish, I also tried using some home cleaners and stuff, gonna try orange clean soon. Anyone know anything strong enough to take of this melted rubber?

Use a razor blade to scrape it off ;)

If you try to do this right after a drive it might come off easier becase the rubber will be all soft from the heat.

You might want to look into centering your exhaust better so it doesn't hit the bumper. If it is hot enough to melt the rubber off your shoes, just think what it could do to the paint on your bumper, or to the plastic bumper itself...

It's not affecting my bumper at all, no cracks or anything, just keeps knociking on it so I guess it doesn't press up enough against eh bumper to actually melt it... But yeah, I thought about using a razor but I don't want to put deep sctraches in the exhaust, but I guess it's a risk I have to take, Orange CLean failed :(

Hmm, maybe orange clean didn't fail because right after i tried using it, I went off driving and I came back home and none of the black stuff was left... :wiggle:
