Uh Oh!  Dropped a micro fiber cloth on a hot muffler and some of it melted on.
Does anyone have a suggestion or idea?  Thanks

Yep...  Happened to me as well.

I took some chrome polish and spent about an hour getting the melted stuff off.  Afterwards, you could never tell it happened.  DO NOT try to scrape it off as you will scratch the chrome...

Patience and chrome polish, I didn't want to try anything abrasive or flammable like laquer thinner.

About how many beers does it take, I may have to stop at the packy on the way to the house.
Which chrome polish? All I have is wenol blue....Thanks for the reply

I use Never Dull on my pipes to get heel marks and other stuff off (like plastic).  It comes in a can and is like wool wadding soaked lightly in some kind of cleaner.  It's been around for a hundred years, but it works.  Brillo pads will also work...many members here have used them.

Careful with the Brillo!!!  It can scratch the chrome.  Done it, unfortunately.

I am mistaken...it is SOS pads some of the members here have used.  They may be a bit finer steel wool.  The Never Dull works great though, so I'll just keep using it...a can lasts 20 years...   You might have to go to an old timey hardware store to find it though.  People use it to polish fine silver...

S100 chrome polish and OO steel wool is the key.

I used Nevrdull and a similar product called Duraglit to clean brass uniform appurtenances when I was in the Army.  Steel wool.......regardless of guage, will remove chrome.  It may not appear at first, but over time, you'll begin to see copper.  I use Simichrome or MAAS polish.  It takes a few beers and some time, but it works, and is safe.

That's good to know Terry.  I have two cans in the garage, so (considering my age) I should be set for life!

NEVR-DULL !!

Just used it today to get someone's shoe off my pipes, went out for a short ride, got caught in the rain, hurried to wipe 'er down since I just washed the Lil' Mermaid this am, and the micro-fiber towel hit the pipe exactly where the shoe was.

Came in to read the new posts while it cools down and saw this.... 


Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! Pass me a  , please. (and some more Nevr-Dull)

Road Rub, it is amazing.
