I think the reason you don't see this everywhere is because so many people have so many other methods that they think work great...as evidenced by this thread.  I've tried almost all of the other methods mentioned, and Road Rub will be your choice once you use it one time.  It works, it's easy, and it does no damage.  My local Harley dealer stocks it and so does the local leather and accessories store, so I have no problems finding it.

I always thought the penny trick was BS but I gave it a try and it worked great without a scratch. 
.....and the price is right!

Been using a penny for many years....now, I'm gonna have to stockpile some of them, because the gov't is getting rid of the penny in Canada.

This is hands down the easiest and best method I've found (and I've tried everything) to remove black markets and other stuff from my chrome.  Cheap too!  http://miraclecloth.com/

I bought some at my Harley dealer and have to admit it works pretty darn good.

I have been using bar keepers friend and it makes a little paste with water, that I the use to rub off with the microfiber cloth. I the wipe it off again with a dry cloth and the marks are gone.  I had tried the easy off and it didn't work. Magic eraser usually has worked great on other things,I will have to try it on my pipes. My damn boot keeps hitting the pipe, even though I concentrate hard on getting it right up on the floorboard!

SOS or any other steel wool DOES scratch chrome. Try GOOP remover, it's cheap, can be bought at the Dollar Store or Big Lots, get the kind that is safe on plastic and will very little effort it will wipe away black on your heatshields and leave no lasting damage like steel wool/SOS.

You are TOTALLY mis-informed. SOS DOES f$%*ING NOT scratch chrome. Shouldn't post chit that you don't know about.

I cleaned the pipes yesterday on my SEUC to get boot marks off. I tried GOOF-OFF and it didn't appear to touch the marks at all. Went to a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with water only and that took 99% of the marks off with just a little rubbing. Used a penny to scrape off the last few small stubborn spots and finished up with the Magic Eraser. The pipes look like brand new again. I was very impressed with the Magic Eraser.

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

Works like a charm and easy to find both.  No scratches either.... :2vrolijk_21:

I will have to try the Mr. Clean product, however.  Reading the posts and from some folks at work, it seems to be the bee's knees in cleaning just about anything/everything.

Ok, Magic Eraser took some of it off. The black from the boots was no problem for that. The melted rain gear however was a different story. SOS pad and water got it after the oven cleaner didn't even touch it. I was working with cold pipes though.

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?
