After rinseing I use mothers chrome polish and that keeps a nice shine. Also use never dull on my truck chrome at home and at work (on the firetrucks) _____________________________ Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

Summary as follows: Mothers Polish = dont have WD40 = Didnt work Goo Gone = Didnt work Penny = Perfect Job! Can''t dig in or it will scratch very lightly, but the lil sucker worked perfectly. Lightly moved the endge of the penny over the gunk back and forth. Got everything off and a fast wipe with a damp cloth for the scrapings of rubber. Didn''t even warm the pipes. Cold hard metal and a soft copper penny. At least I finally found a use for the old penny. I normally let the kids have em. _____________________________ (in reply to dietdewboy) Post #: 47

I''m going to try the copper penny next time. _____________________________ Mike (Spark, Sparky, Spanky, Dudley, Dewey but my fav is PaPa!) 08 1200xl sportster back and crome.

Anyway, wanted to pass on my efforts to remove them and what worked and did not work. Success came from the suggestions on this forum, thanks. brasso - nope paint thinner - nope acetone - nope ez off cleaner - nope polishing compound - nope rubbing compound - nope liquid sandpaper gel - nope copper penny - nope copper penny with brasso - nope Success came with getting the pipes hot and rubbing with 0000 steel wool, came completely off with just a couple of minutes of rubbing and not with a lot of pressure. Go figure, now what do I do with those polyester argyle socks.......... _____________________________ 2006 Low Rider Stage 1 Download Zippers AC w/ Mud modified cover Rush 2" Nightrider IEDs Mean City seat WG bobtail and bars (in reply to 72fl) Post #: 50
