How to remove melted plasticky stuff from my Exhaust pipe?

I recently put some HardChrome saddle bags on my M50, and the right side bag was touching the exhaust pipe, and it melted onto the pipe. ( I know, I know, dumbass thing to do ). The bag wasn't melted all the way through, so it should be alright, and I was able to shave the bulk of the melted material off, but there is still an 8 inch strip that I didn't touch for fear of scratching the pipe. Any ideas?

    First, declare a NO SMOKING zone.

    Soak a rag in acetone, hold it on the effected area for a few minutes, have more rags and acetone at the ready, wipe quickly and change to a new rag often.

    I have heard of using Easy Off oven cleaner, then warming up the bike. I sure haven't tried it, has anyone? My shop guy said to use Blue something powder cleaner. I forgot the whole name, but it is powder in a little white tuna can sized plastic jar.
