Default Rubber Remover

Does anyone have a good solution for removing boot rubber from my crome pipes? Yes my wife rested the heel of her new boot on top of the pipes.

My wife does the same thing. I usually just wait for a time when the pipes are hot and wipe it off with a rag. Hot enough to melt on, hot enough to wipe off.

a friend of mine uses windex and tin foil yes tin foil. It scraches the pipe a little bit though. Just spray on and rub it takes a little while.

I've heard of people using a real copper penny on them before (to scrape it off), but I've never tried it.

I have that problem also. Too lazy to lift my feet out like I should I guess. I use Turtle Wax chrome polish and a little elbow grease with good success.

Oven Cleaner works well without scratching the chrome. Follow the directions on the can as if you were cleaning your oven.

I've used a nickel or penny without any kind of damage. I've also used an old credit card once the pipe is warm.

The MoCo sells a boot mark remover for pipes. Squeeze some on, let it sit and buff it off.
