Cool oil stain on pipes

So i went and bought the hooker troublemaker chrome pipes for my night train, and pick it up friday from the shop i got them installed at and the next day, saturday i get my oil changed at the local stealership, i pick up my bike and come along monday notice an oil stain on my pipes, cant prove that the stealership put it on there or not but dont know where else it would have cam from cause they didnt wash my bike like they normally do cause it was too "cold", so does anybody know wat i can do to get it off??? i have tried, wd40, b12 chemtool, some expensive *** german chrome polish, and a couple others any ideas will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Had oil on my pipes before. Here's what you do. Heat up the pipes. Get a rag and some easy off oven cleaner. Spray the easy off on a rag(away from the bike). Wipe the warm or hot pipes with the rag(not a microfiber) and voila. Then clean the pipes with your choice of cleaner to get an excess easy off off of the pipes. Worked for me.
