Immediately after a ride, while my pipe is still hot, I put a glove on my hand and then use mineral spirits and a rag. Shoe marks come right off. Just don't try this with a microfiber cloth. It will melt and create a bigger mess.

Someone posted on the forums about using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I tried it and it works great.

I recently had some large black marks on my exhaust pipes. Probably heel marks from my boot. Wouldn't come off with chrome cleaner, so while at the dealer Saturday, I asked the parts guy what he had.

He handed me a stick of "Road Rub". This stuff is magic! Easy to use - just rub it on -- works like a charm. The website (http://www.vanlark.com/) says they don't sell consumer direct, so you'll have to ask around if your dealer doesn't have it.

I had this trouble every time I wore tennis shoes and flip flops... Stopped wearing such stuff and bought a good pair of boots.. no more marks that will not come off without cleaners.. Now I did run into some kind of plastic bag while riding in the rain that has fought me tooth and nail but I am slowly winning.. I am on my 3rd product and I believe this will be it.. Easy Off and HOT pipes..
