A penny works great for getting black marks off of chrome pipes.......use an older Canadian penny 'cause they have a higher copper content.

If your talking about black marks from boots (or plastic shoes like flip flops - don't get me started) then oven cleaner works well for the big messes...

    The best I've found are "oops" or "goof off" paint remover from any hardware store. Works great.

I have always used this product and have yet to find anything that it won't remove off my pipes.  :2vrolijk_21:

Road Rub is great stuff. Hard to find in shops but readily available from Internet sources.

Best thing I've used is SOS pads. And no they do not scratch chrome. They will scratch aluminum though.

On really stubborn spots I have used # 0000 steel wool saturated with WD40.   :2vrolijk_21:

Never Dull works too...I have a can that I've had for 5 years and have only used a very small portion of it thus far.

Be very, very careful with oven cleaner.  It will remove the powdercoat on the engine/transmission if left on too long.  There's a member here, and I won't mention any names, that can attest to that first hand.   ;) :'(

I use mr clean scrubber as well. If that doesn't work I add a little brasso to it and I haven't found anything that it won't remove. Then buff it off and there is a nice shine to boot.

X2 to the sos pads, I tried it on some old stock mufflers and works great, no scratches!

I've seen it at only two Harley dealers and I've visited quite a few over the years.  Don't know why more do not carry it.  But then most want to keep more space for the 'quality' moco items I imagine.   :confused5:
