I haveThunderheader pipeson my Deluxe that I bought used off of ebay.Whoever had them before me had their engine running too hot and blued the crap out of them. I don't really want to put the heat covers on. I'm wondering, is there any way to take blue off of chrome or is it just an urban legend? I already tried Eagle One chrome polish, Mother's chrome polish, and I even ordered some Boms Away that claimed to do it. None of them worked. Anyone have some experience here?
I had a old Jap bike and used a Product called Blue-gone, it did require quite a bit of rubbing and although it did remove the Blue the pipes had a gold type tint to them.

Typically quality chrome plating is done in three steps. Copper base, then nickel, then a very thin layer of chrome. Sounds like you got clear through to the copper.
