Cleaning your exhaust pipes

• WD-40 works well for general cleaning on black or chrome exhaust cans. So does penetrating oil, such as Liquid Wrench. Wash the residue off after use.
• If you have scuff marks from your boots, E-Z Off oven cleaner will remove them (from chrome cans, at least).
• Another product that works on chrome is Mothers Wheel Polish.
• See this review of Blue Job Chrome Polish.
• Again, for chrome pipes (we're not sure about painted ones), Range Kleen from Sears has been recommended. It comes in either kit form, including a cleaning pad and scraper, or as just the cleaning liquid. One rider used this to get melted saddle baggage off her pipes.
