Most of these solutions seem to be related to boot marks or melted rain gear/plastic.  What I have a problem with is those little black spots of asphalt that burn on to the mufflers after a road trip.  They cover the entire mufflers and are baked on hard as a rock!  I can find any solvent that will dissolve them!  I don't want to rub on them because experience has taught me that rubbing removes the chrome plating along with the spots.  Anyone find a product or procedure that takes them off with out damaging the chrome plating?





You have to look into this yourself.....  I Have Never needed to use it  , But a friend of mine uses XYLENE to get tar and

asphalt off his bikes and truck(they paved a new road that he travels) He swears by it!  Read up on it,it's very potent

I would try  WD-40 first   ;)   GOOD LUCK AND DO SOME RESEARCH  :2vrolijk_21:

Xylene, I've heard of it never tried it.  Will do but proceed with caution.  Thanks for the tip.  I'll give a report back.

Don't smoke around Xylene or for sure you won't have to worry about the little black spots.
