I use Bug-Off (gets off bugs as well, obviously, though I find hot - but not too hot - car washing solution & mitt takes care of those well enough). main thing as I'm sure you & everyone reading this site knows - don't use a high pressure wash on the bike - plays havoc with wheel bearings etc.

Title: Re: get tar off chrome? Post by Stimpy on 10/17/06 at 23:09:26 I use those 100% stainless steel sponges from 3M that you use for scrubbing pots & pans. (NOT the green ones). I always end up melting something on my exhaust pipe. What you do is heat pipe a bit (turn engine on ;D) and then rub GENTLY with water, and use a towel so you don´t burn yourself with steam. Then use the towel to "polish" the pipe and see if everything is gone. I didn´t like easy-off because it´s too toxic and you end up sniffing it regardless. In case of "regular" chrome I use that "magic" (liquid or paste) silver polish from walmart. Rub on gently. Rinse well. Good luck.
