Hello

I was looking through the forum and the web and didn't find a clear answer. What can be used safely to clean off the burned boot marks from scorched heat shield?

I melted the leg of a pair of sweat pants on my 73 FL. EZ Off oven cleaner took it off the pipe. Long time ago so I forget the method. I know that there are threads on it somewhere.

I know this method but this is not chrome "chrome" but scorched chrome. I don't want to damage the looks.

WD 40 and lots of elbow grease. I used Nevr Dull on Chrome and it worked very well, but I cant say if it would do any damage to scorched chrome or not, but I know WD wont damage it.

I have actually heated my pipes up a bit, which helps loosen the marks, then used turtle wax chrome cleaner and never dull.

Is this the same as 2019 “smoked satin chrome”?
If so, it’s very soft, do not use any abrasive products. Turtlewax will scratch it. Don’t ask how I know!

I use a bug and tar remover wax that seems to work ok…

I've asked my local hd dealer and they told me to use an iron cleaning stick (cost of 2$). I will try it next week and give you a feedback

Looking forward to your response.

Good luck with it.

I confirm that this method works perfectly.
I used this

You need to heat up the shields and rub this stick. It will melt and dissolve the burned marks. Wipe with clean cotton cloth and enjoy clean shield.

Thanks!

I'll give it a try.

You can try taking the shields off, spraying them with oven cleaner and putting them in the oven.

I've heard of this method however the iron cleaning stick doesn't require taking those shields off and works fantastic.
