Frogger Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I just did a search to see what the best way to clean a chrome set of pipes would be. The best thing I came up with was to use acetone. Is there any other recommendations? Quote
yamaha04 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 i tryed this once it worked amazing. blue magic aluminun polish has kinda little grit in it rubbed that shit on rubb it around then wipe off. then i used some break clean took all the residue off that the polish left. also i had some autosol metal polish did it the same way but ran out so i started useing the blue magic lol theres alot of other ways . spray nine, simple green, sos pad. nothing to abrassive Quote
Wildcardracing Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Hey frogger, I got some polish I'll give ya that works awesome, it'll even take the blueing out. -slo Quote
jamebo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Are you talking about removing blueing or just cleaning / shining them? Quote
dajogejr Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I use WD 40 and a real, real fine scotchbrite pad....followed up by a generous use of NeverDull. Never Dull is a wadded cotton tin with a chemical on the cotton, you wipe it on like a wax, work it in real good to the areas with a little rust, etc., Let it haze up, then take a clean lint free cloth and wipe it off. I had a set of RDZ/Shearer inframes that has surface rust pretty good. took over two hours per pipe...but man they looked good when I was done. Wish I would've taken before and afters.... Never Dull is good stuff... Quote

The best thing I came up with was to use acetone. Is there any other recommendations? Here's what you do. You go to the auto parts store and get some cheap rubbing compound for auto paint. Rub it around some and then wipe it off and they will shine like new. If there is any rust it will take it off as well. Also works great on chrome bumpers and stuff on your car. Don't try it on the chromed plastic stuff though. Quote
Frogger Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Posted February 17, 2008 Hey thanks for all the input!!! I'm assuming at a local shop you can pick up purchase some of the chrome care stuff? Or at a car parts store? Quote
dajogejr Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Yep...auto parts store before I'd walk into a bike stealership. I know Murrays, Pep Boys and Autozone all carry Never Dull... Quote

RIPPEN Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 What about getting riding pants off them-lol.. I heard the best is oven cleaner.?.? Otherwise Iam guessing some of the methouds above would work for me as well? RIPPEN Quote
MILO Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 personally i think that mothers polish works better than the neverdull does. either way, some patience and lots of elbow grease is the trick. :thumbsup: Quote
