This might be good to use...

He needs a solvent that will attack the cloth without attacking the metal... Acetone or MEK might be worth a try.

NOT on hot pipes and NOT in the garage.

Easy off oven cleaner will take it off. Spray some on the cold pipe and let it set overnight.

A bud had the same mishap with a microfiber recently and the easy off worked. Just be careful and keep it on the chrome only.
