I managed to touch my D&D exhaust pipe with my rain pants, and was wondering
what is the best way to get the black off. I've heard a lot of different ideas, but
not from this board.  Help needed

Thanks

Easy Off oven cleaner. Saturate the stained area, let it set for several hours, then wipe it right up.. Works great, especially on boot marks.

Purple slice or any other detailing product and aluminum foil.  Crumple the foil into a loose "sponge."  Spray on detailer and rub foil on pipe.  The chrome is harder than the relatively soft aluminum.  Works perfectly!!

Get a little "tin" of Blue Job.  Great stuff, takes anything off without hurting the surface of the pipes.  Not cheap though, about $14 for .5 oz of the power, but you'll never use anything else again... I am not paid or employed by Blue Job...just really like the stuff.

0000 steel wool, or an SOS pad

Already mentioned but oven cleaner works great especially if applied when the pipes are still hot

I saturate a small piece of 0000 steel wool with WD40.  Works great.  If you have a really big thick residue use the oven cleaner to remove most of it and then the steel wool or SOS pad to finish the job.

        Try using SimiChrome with the 4ball steel wool. You won't believe the results

I also left a very large portion of my rainsuit melted onto my D&Ds last year.  Replaced the rain suit with the new (as of 2007) rain suit from the moco that is BRIGHT orange.  It has much larger area of cloth on the inside of the legs to protect from hot pipes.  Haven't had this problem since but still get black marks from boots but that is an easy cleanup.

I've done that also Brian - usually after I've gotten most of the gunk off the pipe.  Good idea and thanks for posting.

I have a tube of that stuff that is 6 years old, and I use it regularly in conjunction with with Never Dull.  Very good stuff, and it will likely last a lifetime, since it doesn't take much.

That or polishing compound on the wool works great. THE MUFFMAN

Used this stuff on Thumps old pipes, and won't hesitate to use it on the FLHR's pipes, but the new Fatcat going on Thump.......that's a completely different story.     I'll get over eventually after the first scratch or ding or three.

I used Neverdull on the cover of my Bassani curve (right side under the seat) - scratched the crap out of it...  The cover of the curve was yellowed, I am guessing my rear cylinder is too lean - (nother issue), maybe I was removing the yellow and that is what appeared scratched?? 

I stopped for fear of dorking it up more.

I've heard reports here of folks commenting that Never Dull scratches chrome.  I haven't run into that challenge, however.  Then again, I don't get aggressive with it like I would a hunk of brass.  It doesn't take much pressure.  Let the chemical do it's job, then wipe it clean with a cotton cloth (old T-shirt).
