Never dull does it for me. Doesn't harm the chrome!

Easy-off oven cleaner
warm up the pipes and it works great
then use the never dull when the pipes cool off

But, DON'T get the Easy-off overspray on anything else. Spray the rag.

Cobra recommends EZ-Off Cold over cleaner for this. No need to heat up the pipes. Spray it on the cold pipes (watch out for overspray), leave it over night and in the morning, just wipe it clean. I've not had a need to try it, but they swear it works beautifully.

Remove the Passenger?

hey Larry I'd do that but its hard to remove your wife if you catch my drift.....

Because like they say if the Pizza Killer ain't happy NO BODY'S HAPPY!

Good Luck,

Im with you on this, but since my wife rides here own its not an issue. But i better not have any gooo on my pipes. mmm, that sounded odd, goo on my pipes, ya right, we dont want to come home with that.
and since this thread started with the phrase New Passenger, sounded a bit generic, a bit, "I picked up this chick at the bar and she said she has ridden alot and then she melted her Walmart boots all over my pipes"

My wife uses the pipes on her RK as a heel rest. I swear she does. I discovered that using a 'liquid sandpaper' product, which probably contains every evil chemical known to man, works good. Cold or cool pipes are best so the stuff doesn't evaporate so fast. I put it on a rag and rub lightly. Or, if there's a nice build up from several weeks, soak the rag and lay it on the rubber/plastic/whatever for a few minutes. Always works. Then, apply polish and wax of your choice.
I used to heat it up with the Mapp gas torch and work it off with a piece of wood, but I got burned fingers too many times.  I'm thinking about wrapping her pipes. Or her feet. Or rapping her head. But, I love her and I'll keep cleaning her pipes. 

edit:  KEEP FLAMES AWAY WHEN USING, AND DON'T USE IN A CLOSED ROOM! You has been warned.

Said it on the other thread but it works so well I have to repeat it here: Rowenta Iron Cleaner (for cleaning clothes iron.)  Easy to use; works fantastic; non-caustic, non-abrasive, don't have to sweat overspray.

A good quality bug & tar remover does the trick for me.

[DakotaZeb]

I spray some WD-40 on some very fine OOO steel wool.  Takes it right off and doesn't scratch the pipe.

I had the same problem i used a fine steel wool, it works and does not damage the crhome.

Maybe you could get her some of those floorboard heel guards.  Something like these http://heelguard.com/  Save yourself some work.
