Motorcycle pipes and chrome clean up?

[chrisbenthal]

What is a good product to get stuff off that is stuck on my motorcycle pipes? I need to clean the bike.

Mmmm, not sure that I'd use a razor blade as it is possible to mark the chrome. A good polish, patience and some elbow grease tend to do the job. Consider going to marine chandlery if there's one handy. Boaties are fastidious about maintaining chrome & stainless finishes and some of the best polishes can be found in boating stores.

I don't know what stuff is stuck on,but you can gently wash them with a sos pad,then use a product called semi-chrome.

Easy Off oven cleaner. Works great.

You need to heat up the pipes and carefully remove the large stuck on stuff with a razor. Once they have cooled use a buffer and apply Harley Chrome Bright. They will be good as new!

Not sure where you are but if in the UK go to a motor accessories shop and buy a tube of Sol-Vol-Auto-Sol it's a cream polish which you use with typically 'mutton cloth' or a soft fabric, make a 'finger point with the cloth, apply a small amount of Sol Vol, and rub the marks / stains gently rather than firmly and this stuff will move any thing off chrome / polished items.Shifts tar spots, dead things, (not people!) flies bugs any thing that's stuck on your paint work or chrome. make sure you get all of the polish off, particularly off chrome exhausts and it should then shine like your nose on a cold day out on your bike.
used this stuff for 40 years and it works.
