Nevr-dull. It's easier if the pipes are hot.
Oven cleaner also works, don't get it on any paint.

Oven cleaner, hot pipe, plastic putty knife or old credit card. WD40 will then shine it up nicely...

My old lady does this everytime she rides with me. Oven cleaner works the best

I agree heat is the key. Most of the time, if the pipe is hot enough, it will just wipe right off.
