My 2 cents? I carefully removed my heat shield, outside while
wearing gloves and a face mask. (This is great because it always
scares the neighbors!) I saturated it (the heat shield, not the
neighbors) with brake cleaner (as a degreases), again working
outside and still protected. Once dry, I painted it heavily (multiple
coats) with white exhaust manifold paint. After the paint cured I
reinstalled the shield on the car. The offending substance is safely
sealed within a thick paint layer -- until someone disturbs it...
