Bare Foot or Bare Breasted?? Either way would help you over look the heal marks!!

Get some heel guards, you won't ever have to clean off melted boot!!

+1 on the 0000 steel wool. Been using it for 20 years and never scratched. Make sure it's a new piece.

Perhaps there are different grades of chrome because I used 0000 steel wool and it scratched the Harley header shields on my old FXD. Solvents only for me.

Try oo steelwool works great no scratchs

I use a product called "road rub" or something to that from my local dealer and it works great.

If Road Rub is the stuff that looks like a little deodorant stick and it's white, my friend just showed me the stuff a few weeks ago.  That chit worked like magic.  I just checked and that's what it's called.  This is their website:  http://vanlark.com/  As it says, they don't sell it direct to individuals, and it says you'll need to contact your dealer to ask for it.  My friend told me he's stopped yelling at his girlfriend for getting her boots on the pipes every time they ride, since it just takes a few seconds to get rid of the marks now.  I'll have to remember to grab one for my saddlebag.

I use a penny too...just make sure it is an old penny that is 100% copper
just lay it flat on the surface and rub away......I found out when I let a micro cloth fall on hot pipes and tried oven cleaner, and just about anything I could think of........friend told me to get an old penny.....but here is the trick....do it when the pipes are cold!

In case I should ever want to give this a try, when you say just lay it flat on the surface, what are you saying?  It doesn't sound like you are talking about the edge of the penny.  Does it matter if you use the heads or tails side?

Yes heads or tails....however it seems some pennies have a better edge on one side I have noticed.....if you ever have to do it you will feel it ....don't tilt it like a scraper......some hards ones take a bit longer but do not press Real hard it will come off eventually

I was afraid of the steel wool as to not scratching up the chrome,, I had some pvc pipe cleaner on the shelf in my garage and put a small amount on a rag and the boot marks came right off,,  and the chrome was fine.  I'd try that again for sure.
