Black spots on chrome?
Im not sure if I ran through something or if they are bugs that are burnt to the pipes... but I have 10-20 of these little black spots all over the pipes. They wont come off with the speed shine. They do come off if you rub them a bit, but Im afraid to scratch the crap out of the pipes.
Anything recommended to safely clean this stuff off?

I would use real fine steel wool. I have burnt my jeans on my pipes a few times and I have just used fine steel wool and it takes it right off without scratching the pipes. I have used fine steel wool on glass and it doesnt scratch.

Use steel wool fine or otherwise as a last resort.
If you can remove them with your QD and a little elbow grease then try this....spray some all purpose cleaner on the areas and let is soak a minute or two then wipe or rinse away.
