Cooked on microfiber rag
Like Eric, I made the mistake of touching my brand new pipes with a microfiber rag. After doing some research I settled on trying NON heavy duty oven cleaner. I warmed the bike up for three minutes, Which was probably too long. Then I sprayed the oven cleaner on a rag and wiped the pipes. I tried this until the pipes cooled to what I estimate to be 150 deg. Farenheit (about 15 min.). The results were poor; so I tried Turtle Wax chrome polish. I got immediate results and continued until the mess was almost completely gone. It still took almost an hour, but no scratches are visible. I feel confident that one more application on warm pipes will finish the job.
