I have got spots of which i think are grease on the bottom of my ehaust, im finding it impossible to get them off. I have tried good old fairy liquid, auto glym with no joy.

They are small spots and its dirivng me nuts everytime i clean the bike i just cant seem to shift them. Any ideas?

They are probably bits of tar. Try a dedicated tar remover or I'd be tempted to have at it with some WD-40/parrafin first, might work and it would be free/cheap to try.

Failing that, I'm willing to bet a dab of petrol would dissolve just about anything oil based you might have lurking on the bike.
