Default I would like to know what is the best cleaner for my v&h chrome exhaust

I have the chrome v&h dual cross overs on my 14 ultra limited and I have some black tar specks on them and I've tried several cleaning products and have had no luck.

While the bike is cool, spray them with WD-40 and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rub them off.

Default Thank you

I have tried never dull and it doesn't seem to take it off. I haven't tried wd40 yet.

Simichrome polish by Happich this stuff will remove tar and boot marks and will polish the chrome like nothing else. Even removes minor scuffs with a little elbo grease!

^As long as it is #0000, no. We use it all the time here at the shop when detailing bikes to get surface rust and contamination off chrome wheels and the like.....works like a charm.

I have heard others praise oven cleaner for removing boot marks and tar. Dont get any on anything else
