Hello

So some numpty went and used exhaust sealant all over the CAT (Catalytic converter) and on some of the parts that are upstream of the CAT.

What is the best way to remove this sealant to make it safe for the CAT and O2 sensors?

Thanks

What do you mean by "all over the cat"?

The first step would be to scrape it off mechanically.
But this will not remove 100% of the sealant.
