.30 caliber empty rifle brass with the bullet end flattened into a scraper. Brass is softer than the chrome.

Speaking of boot marks, any recommendations for a boot scuff on a seat? I left a boot scuff on my Mustang seat. Sorry for the slight thread hi-jack.

Works like a charm!

It's an old thread I know but I have to concur. WOW that stuff is amazing!! I have used it my bike pipes of course. But I have also used on two very minor traffic fender rubs. Two different people (different times, different vehicles) got into me because they couldn't stay in their own lane. Very minor dents but the boot cleaner removed all the extraneous paint and plastic left behind by the other vehicle.

These pics are real. This was the first time I tried for a situation like this. Honestly I didn't know what would happen but I had nothing to lose. Apparently this is NLA I've been looking for 2 years now to get more

Boot guards rule! One of my first mods whenever I get a new bike.

Make sure you clean off the WD-40 on the pipes or the WD-40 could burn into the chrome, use some Windex..
