Default chrome cleaning tip

I had a little bit of rubber on my exhaust that would not come off now matter how hard I scrubbed. Anyway, I sprayed some "Goo Gone" on it and it wiped right off. I was very impressed with how well the product worked, so I just wanted to recommend the product to anyone who is having problems cleaning a stubborn spot on their chrome.

Great tip!
That stuff works wonders on sticky-icky stuff.

You should make this post over in the "Detailing" section of the forum, too.

I remove heel marks off pipes the same way I remove stickers from windows and have never scratched a pipe with this method.

I spray windex on the area for lubrication, and then take a brand new razor blade and gingerly go over the heel mark. Once the mark is removed I wipe the area clean.

Mother's chrome cleaner has no problems removing heel marks. Use the ball for the really tough stuff.

easy off oven cleaner does it for me. (I looked at the chrome in my oven and said "I can polish that!")

Heat up the pipes and spray a rag with easy off. Wipe pipe with rag. Voila!

No, I am not kiddin'.

You can scratch glass just as easy as you can scratch chrome. Use a fresh new flat razor and it works fine. I have done it dozens of times and never scratched a set of pipes.

The weight of the razor alone is almost enough to shave off the heel mark.
