I have had good results using Harley Boot Mark Remover. Also used oven cleaner but have found the Boot Mark Remover better.

I hope Hoist sees this thread. He had me follow him (me on his FX)  down the breakdown lane for 5 miles to the Throgs Neck Bridge toll booth over glass and chunks of metal and god knows what with no issue at all  When we got to his house in Queens he saw a black boot heel mark on his Pythons and went totally postal on me.  LOL   He was so wound up, I could not help but laugh.

There is a product called "Road Rub" that is like magic! Looks like a deodorant stick but have never seen or used anything that works like that.

turtlewax chrome polish works for me. maybe a little more rubbing than some of these others. the key for me is "chrome polish". just my opinion. (ya know what they say about opinions)

depends how bad it's melted on I usually get it hot and remove the worst with a popsicle stick then use Adams chrome polish with a drill and pad if it's real bad, it comes in 2 grades, even takes the scratches out of the chrome.

Step 1: let your bike cool
Step 2: spray easy off onto a clean rag that won't stick to pipe
Step 3: spread the cleaner on exhaust and wait 5-10 minutes
Step 4: wet and wring a separate rag
Step 5: turn on bike and let exhaust get hot
Step 6: using wet rag start scrubbing and peel by hand or use Teflon safe spatula to peel off
Step 7: reapply easy off as in step 2 but this time don't wait-rub onto hot exhaust and keep scrubbing with wet rag--should be steaming-and use Teflon spatula if needed-use it lightly
Step 8: now that the plastic bag/boot marks are gone, rinse pipe using clean rag
Do not spray easy off on paint or directly on exhaust-use rag to wipe on!!

See photo-this plastic bag stuck to my 15 CVO SG /0 miles into owning-got 99.99% off-rest will come off shortly; my uncle followed my method hrs later and removed black boot marks from his Kawasaki pipe after months with it on it

Bought #0000 steel wool at Home Depot for 4 bucks. The black came off quickly with minimal rubbing and no scratching.

Combine the #0000 steel wool with NEVERDULL and it comes off even quicker.

I actually ended up using a razorblade ever so lightly to scrape it off...
