0000 steel wool with ALUMINUM polish..

 

I use a nickel when the pipes are hot&nbsp\\; ... very gently!

 

Lots of good advise, now you know ONE of the reasons NOT the ride with sneakers!

 

+1 on the Easy Off oven cleaner.&nbsp\\; Had to use it a few times on my Lowrider.&nbsp\\; I found it worked the best when your pipes were warm (not hot), and then you just spray it on (carefully, you don't want it on the paint!), let it sit for a minute or two on the warm pipes, and then just wipe it off.&nbsp\\; If you do it warm comes off with very little effort.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Some people would spray it on at night, go out a few hours later (or the next morning) and wipe it off then.&nbsp\\; Never tried it that way myself.

 

i think it was mentioned earlier but go get a nickel and heat up the pipes a little.

nickel is softer than chrome so it wont scratch it. it does take a little work but it worked very well when i got some shoe melted to my pipes

 

Leave the tennis shoes on the tenns court.&nbsp\\; If not. 0000 steel wool.
