Bansh-eman Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 its probly just premix and dirt that has collected over time. use a rag and gas and wipe it down, then you can polish the pipes back out if there is bluing on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentner8 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 You can also buy stuff made to polish the blue out that works well, I just cant remember the name right this second. I used to use it on my harley pipes all the time. The blueing was caused by a lean condition. When I got the harley dyno tuned in, the blueing was drastically reduced, and the bike ran better too....go figure! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1Inferno Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 chrome does that when it gets hot. you can polish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALLACE84 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Just like everyone said, you can polish it but over time its just going to blue again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOWTIME Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Just like everyone said, you can polish it but over time its just going to blue again... Agreed...Chrome pipes require alot of maintenence. If you dont use some sort of polish compound after every ride, the blueish discoloration will come back quickly.

DJ LiL Mike Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 wat about the black, will the black come off? all i have to do is buy chrome polish, apply it, and the pipes will be clean (no blackness or blue)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Product Blue Away is supposed to take care of that, I've seen it at Cycle Gear. Never tried it myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
