I'm sure this has been covered before but I'll ask anyway. How do you get the shoe rubber or sole marks of your pipes without killing the chrome?

[110tHunDer]

 
Use an SOS pad.

[tommyo]

It won't scratch it? Should the pipes be warm or just anytime?

[hd-dude]

I use s100 polishing  soap. http://www.s100.com/s100_fr.htm

You can also use a very soft wood on it when it is hot

I've had good luck with Mothers Chrome Polish.

Nope, no scratches.  Try it, you'll be amazed.  I thought the guy who told me about it was freakin' nuts (sorry JR! ) until I gave it shot myself.

I used it on cold pipes.  Just wet it down like you would if you were cleaning the oven with it.  Takes it right off. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I've always used easyoff oven cleaner.  works great.  just be sure not to get any on the paint.

Yep, Fine steel wool and S100 work great together.

Greetings, All, (My first post) I use Never Dull on cold pipes. It may take a few times for it to come off completely, however it has always worked for me.

Welcome to the site Glide-man!! This is absolutely the BEST site on the internet for CVO info. Lots of different backgrounds with one thing in common ... the love of the ride. Poke around and explore the site. There's a wealth of information here and no shortage of good natured garage talk.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Brian (103tHunDer) is right about the SOS pads  - -- - - - - - - - - - sort of. They don't scratch, but over time they will take the chrome off. So use them only when you've got some really nasty goo to get off your chrome or you'll see the copper underneath peaking out at you.

Glideman, welcome
I thought the SOS pads were crazy but they work. Like Spiderman said they will after many uses take the chrome off.
Good luck

Goo-B-Gone (honest that's the name of the stuff, I couldn't make up something that good) works as does denatured alcohol if the stuff isn't totally baked on.The alcohol is something everyone should have in their garage anyway. All of the stuff H-D makes with the two side foam tape to hold it on with always leaves a residue and the alcohol cuts through that and makes it easy to get off. For instance, the reflectors on the fork tubes and front frame down tubes everyone always pulls off as soon as they get their new bike home.

Fingernail polish remover (acetone) on a soft cloth works great.
