Does anyone have a good idea how to get tar off the exhaust without scratching the chrome?&nbsp\\; Rode on a freshly tarred road and now it is cooked on the exhaust.&nbsp\\;

 

Superfine Steel Wool .0000 .

 

Been there - done that, Charcoal lighter fluid on COLD exhaust - soft cloth, repolish with Mothers - worked for me. Good luck.

 

WD-40

 

+1 on WD-40

 

A solvent will work fine....paint thinner, prepsol etc...just be careful

 

+2 on WD40, also takes off all adhesive labels,etc.

 

&nbsp\\;
Yup, WD40 and some 000 steel wool. Go slow and easy on a cold pipe, and you'll be fine.

 

Best overall, cheapest, fastest, etc cleaner and degreaser&nbsp\\;of all times is plain old kerosene. Dip ultra fine steel wool in it. It will dissolve the tar immediately, and leave pipes very shiny.&nbsp\\; Wash with soapy water when done, and make sure to wear rubber gloves as it is a solvent easily absorbed through human skin.
