I use 0000 steel wool,dawn dish soap and water and it has always worked great for me, no scratches that I can see. The other ideas will work good also. Good luck.
Me too

Next time use steel wool. Really..Steel wool. Not alot of rubbing. There are different gauges of the steel wool. Look for the one that is specifically for chrome. NOT ALOT OF RUBBING INVOLVED!!!

I read about this recently in American Iron Magazine.&nbsp\\;You can clean it off with&nbsp\\;using cold&nbsp\\;Easy Off Heavy Duty Cold Oven cleaner. When it is cool to the touch, spray it on and let it sit over night. Next morning rinse it&nbsp\\;off.[/align]Good Luck[/align]

Most any metal polish works on a warm not hot pipe.
I have found Noxin #7 avilable at most hardware stores works the best.

Use a cotton or flannel cloth never micro fiber as it will melt and make things worse. (dont ask me how I know this).

I saw a guy use the edge of a credit card once but that appeared to leave scratches.

I read a post here recently that said oven cleaner other and caustic cleaners will instantly damage polished and anodized aluminum - not worth the risk IMO.
