pipe cleaning
I'm sooooooooo mad at myself. Thought I was being careful wtih my new fatcat pipes and noticed this morning that I must have gotten bottom of boot on the hot pipes. Any tips for getting boot marks off of the pipes. My father in law suggested using tin foil--sounds as if it would scratch..

Ya have to wait for the pipes to cool off first, then use bug and tar remover. It is pretty much likechrome polishand you can buy it at the auto parts store, Wal-Mart or other auto maintenance store. I would avoid the polish that ya squeeze out of a tube though.

RE: pipe cleaning
Just remember that Easy Off will harm the paint! I have used STEEL WOOL grade 0000 (must be 4 0's) There was a post on this just a day or two ago.
