Cleaning stuff off chrome pipes
OK, I'm sure that this can be answered elsewhere, but I'll try here first. Just received my new Rush mufflers, 2" baffles, and they sound great. Rode the bike dowen to the selling dealership for it's 1K service, and got caught in the rain. OK, here's the problem. I had on my HD rainsuit, and the right leg touched the muffler and pipe (two places) and melted. What is the best way to clean the chrome with burned plastic/rubber material on them. It is not too awful bad, but I SEE IT, and it's new and I'm ticked. It was a360 mile ride (round trip), most in the rain, and I'm sure this could have been avoided.
But they sure do sound great.....

RE: Cleaning stuff off chrome pipes
I have used a product called Autosol to remove some burnt-on rubber from a boot and it worked
I have read about using a spray on oven cleaner. I can see the relevance as it has a fair amount of caustic in it, just cover up the other areas of the bike as it really doesn't discriminate.
The Autosol is an essential buy anyway as it's great for polishing all types of metal when you detail your scoot.

One thing I found that works great... is going for a little ride to heat up my pipes... then I spray on $0.99 oven cleaner on the hot pipes.... this gets them clean in no time...
Plus I get the oven cleaner at the local 99 cent store... very cheap method yet effective... I also use that to clean the white part of my white wall tires... they look brand new every time... :-)

RE: Cleaning stuff off chrome pipes
I haven't had any problems... been doing this for a long time now.... I use a rag thick enough to shield me from the heat but so that I can scrub a little...
Then I hose them off and use a fresh rag to wipe them down to get the excess spray off... when they cool off I buff them shiny...
