Default Nasty brown crap...

Ok here we go. A plastic bag got itself on my Chrome pipe as I was going down the freeway. Now I have this hard black and brown crap dryed on my pipe. How do I get this off?

Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner. Bed Bath & Beyond sells it and so does the BX/PX if you are military.

Mr. Clean magic eraser works awesome! I couldn't believe how easy it took off melted boot soles.

Another great one is a product called "Blue Job". It will take the blue off your pipes as well. You can get it online and at most motorcycle dealers.
