Blue Job... It's pricey, and takes a lot of rubbing...
I just learned to love blue... Grin

Blue job, used each day, will remove the chrome in a few months. It does take the blue off, though.

I don't mind blue or other discolorations anymore, as long as the chrome is clean.

There is a product called "Blue Job" that works pretty well. It is a powder that you mix with a little water and then rub on the discolored part. Takes some elbow grease but it does a pretty good job. My pipe was gold colored, not blue, and this stuff cleaned it right up. I'm pretty sure that the discoloration will eventualy come back though.

Works on black rubber marks too, if you accidentaly hit the muffler with your boot soles.

I got mine at the local Harley shop, but I'm pretty sure you can find it online.

Rustoleum, silver BBQ/woodstove paint. Or flat black, or light bronze.

Blue job and similar are a waste of money, just paint it or wrap it. Or both, paint, wrap, then more paint.

It's just notice that your machine is ridden instead of trailered close to Hooters and then coasted in to be power parked on bike nights. Wink

So much truth in that.

Well, not really, but it is pretty funny and well, yeah, truthful. I see some bikes that look showroom new and wonder to myself just how much riding is being done on them, then I see my little thumper and think about how many miles it has on it (which isn't all that many) over how many years, and look at the miles I'm now racking up quickly and figure the bike was built to be ridden. It is going to age and show wear and tear, and there's not much I can do about it.

While I am slowly but surely pretty well restoring this bike, I'm also doing so knowing that I'm gonna ride it. Parts are going to wear out and it is not ever gonna look showroom new again. But, it will certainly be ridden and will get me where I'm going.

Who Cares if the part that gets the hottest is discolored?
