oven cleaner worked great for me ..... take about a 1 mile ride to warm up the pipes and apply with a rag to keep the stuff off of the paint . let the pipes cool then remove with a damp cloth.

ORIGINAL: Beefcake

WD-40 and a wool pad.

I agree - that works good too - use #0000 steel wool

I get this all the time and use HD Metal Polish (not their Chrome Polish) and just use it on the spots - comes off easy with out much rubbing.
