Default Boot marks

Any safe way to remove boot marks from my chrome pipes. Worried about scrathes. Wonder if wd40 will soften it up? Need a safe method as it happens alot.

Spray a little oven cleaner on a rag and rub them off. Be careful not to get the oven cleaner on your paint. It'll eat the paint away.

Acetone on a rag, wipe the marks off. Won't damage the chrome at all.
